Jess Gillam with... C茅cile McLorin Salvant
Jess Gillam meets jazz singer C茅cile McLorin Salvant to swap favourite music, including Aretha Franklin, Caroline Shaw, Maria Callas singing Puccini and Cameron De La Isla
Jess Gillam meets jazz singer C茅cile McLorin Salvant to swap some of their favourite music.
C茅cile is a 3 time Grammy Award-winning jazz singer and her music shows off her passion for storytelling and finding the connections between vaudeville, blues, jazz, baroque and folkloric music. She spoke to Jess ahead of her show at London Jazz Festival 2023 and picked some of her favourite voices from Maria Callas singing Puccini to flamenco star Camar贸n de la Isla and an air de cour by Gabriel Bataille.
Jess brought along a string quartet by Caroline Shaw, a Hollywood inflected Concerto by Korngold and the most beautiful of songs by Aretha Franklin
