Immanuel Wilkins' 4/4

'Round Midnight

Available for 29 days

This week on 'Round Midnight, Soweto's guest is acclaimed American saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins. Hailing from Pennsylvania, his early musical foundation was deeply rooted in church gospel traditions before going on to study jazz at The Juilliard School. After establishing himself as a highly sought-after player working with the likes of Jason Moran, Wynton Marsalis, and Solange Knowles, Immanuel has gone on to become a revered bandleader, and collaborator. From Monday to Thursday, Immanuel is sharing four of his best-loved albums, and tonight, he begins with a saxophone legend. Also in the programme, music from Ezra Collective, Emma Rawicz and Norma Winstone. ‘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 listen on most smart speakers, just say: “Ask BBC Sounds to play Round Midnight”.
