Jess Gillam with... Sam Amidon
Jess is joined by folk singer and musician Sam Amidon for a listening party of music they love, with tracks by Ornette Coleman, Ennio Morricone, Janacek and Dusty Springfield.
Jess's guest this week is folk artist Sam Amidon. His songs reimagine and breathe new life into old songs and ballads, but his musical life also encompasses any number of collaborations with classical composers, experimental producers as well as the jazz world which he finds so inspiring.
Sam and Jess settle in for a listening party of the music they love, including Ornette Coleman and friends having a street party, Ennio Morricone in full blown cinematic mode, Sam shares a revelatory recording by the Georgian voices in The Rustavi Choir and Jess continues her bid to be reincarnated in the 1960s with a Dusty Springfield classic.
