Long tracks for the longest day of the year
Soweto leads a gentle introduction to midsummer.
‘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. To mark the summer solstice and the longest day, Soweto selects appropriate music including two long tracks: Matthew Halsall’s meditative Salute To The Sun, and John Coltrane’s version of Summertime as a gentle introduction to midsummer.
