C茅cile McLorin Salvant's 4/4

Soweto is joined by French-American composer, singer, visual artist and master storyteller C茅cile McLorin Salvant.

鈥楻ound 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.

From Monday to Thursday this week, Soweto is joined by French-American composer, singer, visual artist and master storyteller C茅cile McLorin Salvant. C茅cile is internationally celebrated for her vocal dexterity and daring, her compositional inventiveness, and is recognised as one of contemporary jazz鈥檚 leading singers. Among her many accolades C茅cile has won three Grammy Awards, the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition in 2010, and is a MacArthur Fellow.

Her music weaves a broad range of influences including jazz, baroque, folkloric music and vaudeville, always with humour and inquisitiveness. A multi-linguist, C茅cile sings in French and English, as well as Occitan and Haitian Krey貌l.

C茅cile鈥檚 new album 鈥淥h Snap鈥� is out this Friday 19th September.

To begin her week as Soweto鈥檚 4/4 guest, C茅cile chooses to spotlight a record by a vocalist, poet, and an early champion of bebop.

There鈥檚 also music tonight from J.A.M. String Collective, Fabia Mantwill Orchestra, and Sloth Racket.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask 麻豆社 Sounds to play Round Midnight.'
