Award-winning saxophonist Soweto Kinch presents this weekday evening jazz show. It celebrates the thriving UK scene and spotlights the best new music alongside legendary heritage acts. 

Every day this week, trumpeter and composer Laura Jurd has been guesting on our feature Flowers which celebrates the heroes and heroines of jazz – giving artists the chance to hand out bouquets to artists they believe deserve respect and recognition. Tonight, Laura's final selection is the UK trio Glasshopper.

Plus, in honour of the upcoming Prom 13 which is celebrating the music of Sarah Vaughan, Soweto plays a track from Sassy herself.
