Fergus McCreadie sits in

This week Scottish pianist and BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist alumnus, Fergus McCreadie, is sitting in for Soweto all this week.

This week Scottish pianist and BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist alumnus, Fergus McCreadie, who is widely celebrated for his compositions blending jazz and folk music, is sitting in for Soweto all this week.

From Monday to Thursday, Fergus is joined by saxophonist and fellow Scot Norman Willmore as his guest for Flowers. Born in Shetland, Norman is perhaps best known for his duo project with Glasgow based drummer Corrie Dick. Together they mix traditional Shetland folk with jazz, creating soundscapes that speak as much to the future as they hail to the past.

To begin his week, Norman chooses to celebrate a Norwegian folk-jazz duo that he has long-admired.

Also in the programme, there is music from Branford Marsalis, Yazz Ahmed, and Hank Mobley.

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