Jess Gillam with... Sam Becker
Jess Gilliam and bassist Sam Becker share music by Debussy, John Dowland, Berlioz and serpentwithfeet's take on Berlioz, plus David Bowie.
Jess Gillam presents her new show, with the double and electric bass player Sam Becker, who co-presented the 大象传媒 Young Musician podcast with Jess in 2018. The tracks they share with each other range from Debussy's Sarabande to David Bowie's Heroes, and from Dowland's Flow my teares to serpentwithfeet's take on Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique.
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.
