In a departure from our usual themed episodes in which our guests discuss a particular aspect of music, we're introducing the first in a series of bonus episodes featuring the full length interviews that we recorded for the main strand of A land without music?
Jess Gillam was described by The Times as âuniquely mercurialâ âone of Britainâs most virtuosic instrumentalistsâ and âan inspiring personalityâ. The Huffington Post went with, âshe frankly rocksâ.
As well as being a fantastic saxophonist, committed to broadening the repertoire for her instrument, she also became BBC Radio 3âs youngest ever presenter with her award winning show, This classical life.
