‘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.

Sheila Jordan, the pioneering American jazz singer who’s still performing at 96 years young, sat down in her New York apartment to share some highlights and stories from her incredible career.

Sheila is one of the last surviving links to the bebop era. She befriended Charlie Parker, who nicknamed her the singer with the golden ears, hung out at the legendary Minton’s Playhouse and took harmony lessons with Lennie Tristano. She has stories about everyone – from Mingus, Monk and Miles Davis to Kenny Dorham and Bud Powell.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Sounds to play Round Midnight.'
