Zola Marcelle sits in

Vocalist and multidisciplinary artist Zola Marcelle is sitting in for Soweto this week on ‘Round Midnight, sharing some of her favourite recent finds and jazz classics.

Zola is joined from Monday to Thursday by her guest, South-London vocalist and trombonist Richie. Known for her work with KOKOROKO, Richie has also performed with artists from across the musical spectrum including Solange, Damon Albarn, and Dave. She has gone on to explore pathways as a producer and composer, including as resident artist at the Horniman Museum & Gardens in 2020 and as a commissioned artist for New Music USA in 2021. Her latest project titled ‘Delusia’s Final Act’ was released last year.

Richie is sharing some of the albums that have influenced her for 4/4. Starting her week, she selects a record by one of jazz harp’s pioneers.

Also in the programme, there’s music from Balimaya Project, Joe Armon-Jones and Thandiswa.

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