Joe Armon-Jones's 4/4

The keyboardist, producer and Ezra Collective member takes us around his record collection.

‘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.

This week Soweto’s guest is leading keyboardist, producer and member of multi award-winning UK band Ezra Collective, Joe Armon-Jones. Bringing lyricism and virtuosity in equal measure, Joe’s sound traverses jazz tradition, hip hop, dub, funk and beyond.

His latest solo album “All the Quiet (Part I)” is out on Friday March 28th.

From Monday to Thursday, Joe will be selecting some of the albums that have informed his musical language, for 4/4. Kicking off the week, Joe chooses a record by piano maestro Ahmad Jamal.

Plus, music from 44th Move, Azamiah and the late, great, Roy Ayers.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Round Midnight.'
