Jess Gillam with... Ollie Howell
Jess and Ollie's tracks include Dvorak, Quincy Jones and Nadia Boulanger, plus some classic Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
Saxophonist Jess Gillam meets the dynamic young drummer and television composer Ollie Howell, and their eclectic choices include Dvorak鈥檚 New World Symphony, a film score by Quincy Jones, a mesmerising piano miniature by Nadia Boulanger, and some classic Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
From musical beginnings in a carnival band, to being the first ever saxophone finalist in 大象传媒 Young Musician, and appearances at the Last Night of the Proms in 2018 and at this year鈥檚 BAFTA awards, Jess is one of today鈥檚 most engaging and charismatic classical performers. Each week on This Classical Life, she is joined by another young musician to swap tracks and share musical discoveries across a wide range of styles, revealing how music shapes their everyday lives.
This Classical Life is also available as a podcast on 大象传媒 Sounds.
