Jess Gillam with... Colin Greenwood

Jess is joined by bassist Colin Greenwood to swap the music they love the most, with tracks by Handel and Ellington, heavenly Eric Whitacre choral music and a Nina Simone classic.

Jess's guest this week is bassist and member of Radiohead, Colin Greenwood. Colin has a not-so-secret love of classical music and comes into the studio armed with arias by Handel, choral music by Eric Whitacre, a Nina Simone classic and more. Fresh from releasing a new book of candid photography of Radiohead in the studio and making music, Colin chats to Jess about life in one of the most influential bands in the world and they share their mutual love of a killer bassline.
