British jazz musician, MC and composer Soweto Kinch is one of the leading artists in the UK鈥檚 jazz and hip-hop scenes. Hailing from Birmingham, home to his legendary jam session, The Live Box, the saxophonist and rapper has enjoyed a prolific two decades in which he鈥檚 performed worldwide, written orchestral scores and founded a music and arts festival. His recorded output has fused ragtime, West Indian folk, hip-hop and jazz, often in service to conscious themes, as in 2019鈥檚 The Black Peril, which explored the race riots that occurred in Britain, America and Europe in 1919. With his Listening Chair selection, he offers up a dynamic, hypnotic track that transports him to a different place and time.

Elsewhere in the show, we hear new releases from ambient giant Tim Hecker, Texan songwriter Jana Horn and composer and producer Rachika Nayar.
