Pioneering black women in jazz

This week, ‘Round Midnight joins in on the BBC’s The Music Is Black season, in collaboration with the V&A East in London.

Tonight, Soweto focuses on three black women who were masters of their craft as jazz musicians and who forged their way in a male-dominated sphere, making their mark in British jazz and internationally.

'Round Midnight is presented by award-winning saxophonist Soweto Kinch. This weekday late-night show celebrates the thriving UK jazz scene and spotlights the best new music alongside incredible acts from past decades.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Round Midnight".
