Jess Gillam Ensemble
Jess Gillam EnsemblePresented by Saffron Hall
The film music of Michael Nyman, dreamscapes by Debussy and Nadia Boulanger, music from the baroque concerto repertoire, an Irish folk music staple, and tributes to fellow saxophonists Sidney Bechet and John Harle; only Jess Gillam could weave these together into a convincing, seamless whole!
Accompanied by a hand-picked all-star band of musicians who share her bold, open-minded approach, Jess effortlessly switches styles and eras, leading us in a whirlwind tour of her musical world. Full of warmth, energy, mellifluous sound and astonishing virtuosity, this is an evening rich in promise from an outstanding natural communicator.
