BBC Radio 3 - 'Round Midnight, A piece from Mary Lou Williams

Looking ahead to a Prom featuring Mary Lou Williams music next month.

Presented by saxophonist Soweto Kinch, Radio 3’s late night jazz show showcases new UK jazz and shares the best releases from across the world.

This week’s guest is composer and trumpeter Laura Jurd, who among other projects is bandleader of the Mercury Prize-nominated group Dinosaur.

She’s been handing out respect and recognition to the living legends and unsung heroes of jazz each day. Today it’s the turn of woodwind player, and former 'Round Midnight session guest, Shabaka.

Plus, there's music from Leon Foster Thomas, Linda Sikhakhane and Jamie Leeming.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
