ESKA live in session
Soweto presents live music from seminal UK vocalist ESKA, recorded at the Barbican.
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.
Soweto shares more live music from British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist ESKA鈥檚 masterful set, recorded at the Barbican as part of our 鈥楻ound Midnight showcase for last year's London Jazz Festival.
ESKA was joined by a core band of Robin Mullarkey on bass, Jose Joyette on drums, Philip Achille on harmonica and Dave Okumu on guitar, who has also been Soweto's 4/4 guest this week. You can listen back to all his selections on 麻豆社 Sounds.
This is the first in a trio of Friday night programmes spotlighting music from the artists that featured on our 鈥楻ound Midnight stage. Coming up in the following two weeks; international group LVDF and trumpeter Laura Jurd.
To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask 麻豆社 Sounds to play Round Midnight.'
