Looking ahead to James Baldwin's centenary

Tracks to celebrate the late writer and civil rights activist.

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.

Bassist and composer Endea Owens is this week’s guest on 4/4, where musicians share selections from their home record collection. This time, she picks a classic from Stevie Wonder.

Plus, there's music to celebrate James Baldwin's forthcoming centenary this Friday. Soweto plays a track from Meshell Ndegeocello's new album, which celebrates the late writer and civil rights activist. We also hear one of his favourite artists - Bessie Smith - and a piece from Roy Ayers, who Baldwin wrote liner notes for in his later years.
