鈥楻ound 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.

Theo Croker is an American trumpeter, producer and composer, widely celebrated for his originality and groove-laden compositions. The grandson of trumpeter Doc Cheatham and a former student of the legendary Donald Byrd, Theo draws on a rich jazz lineage as well as influences of hip hop, funk, soul and beyond.

Theo begins his week celebrating artists and contemporary peers who have influenced him, in a section of the show called Flowers. Tonight, he is giving a collective bouquet to London鈥檚 Afrobeat and jazz outfit, KOKOROKO.

Also in the programme, today marks Holocaust Memorial Day. Reflecting on this, Soweto shares music from the late German guitarist Coco Schumann who became a member of the Ghetto Swingers in Theresienstadt concentration camp. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, Schumann performed with artists including Marlene Dietrich, Ella Fitzgerald, and Helmut Zacharias.
