The return of Samara Joy

US Star Samara Joy is back with a new single.

'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.

Kit Downes has been Soweto's Flowers guest this week selecting contemporaries to celebrate. He finishes his stint as our jazz florist by picking the trio Punkt. Vrt. Plastik - comprising Kaja Draksler, Petter Eldh and Christian Lillinger.

Outpost of Dreams, Kit’s new album with Norma Winstone, is out now. His live album Dr. Snap, recorded at the BIMHUIS in Amsterdam, is also out now. And Kit has another record called Breaking the Shell with guitarist Bill Frisell and drummer Andrew Cyrille out this week.

Plus, there's music from Reinier Baas & Ben Van Gelder, Nihilism, Olivia Cuttill and Barbara Thompson.
