Jess Gillam was described by The Times as “uniquely mercurial” “one of Britain’s most virtuosic instrumentalists” and “an inspiring personality”. The Huffington Post went with, “she frankly rocks”.
As well as being a fantastic saxophonist, committed to broadening the repertoire for her instrument, she also became BBC Radio 3’s youngest ever presenter with her award winning show, This classical life.
