Nabou Claerhout’s Flowers

Available for 25 days

‘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. From Monday to Thursday this week, Soweto’s guest for Flowers is the Belgian trombonist and composer Nabou Claerhout. A rising star in the European jazz scene, Nabou is the founder of her quartet N∆BOU and of the Trombone Ensemble Nabou Claerhout, and has worked with leading artists including Dave Holland, John Ruocco, and Dave Douglas. Her new album Indigo also features double bassist Trui Amerlinck, guitarist Gijs Idema, and drummer Daniel Jonkers. To begin her week sharing some of the artists that inspire her and giving us insight into her musical world, Nabou chooses to spotlight a leading American trumpeter. There is also music from Petter Eldh, Lophae, and Brotherly with ESKA. To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Round Midnight'.
