A Latin jazz classic

Soweto shares more of the best in jazz, and we hear Aaron Parks' third 4/4 selection.

‘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.

Aaron Parks returns with a third album that he has been influenced by, for our 4/4 feature. Tonight he chooses a revered jazz vocalist, who was also deeply admired for her piano playing.

There is also music from Nate Smith, Gemma Bass, and Luedji Luna with Nubya Garcia.

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