Jess Gillam at the Ryedale Festival

Saxophonist Jess Gillam and her Ensemble provide a highlight from this year's Ryedale Festival with a range of music bridging many styles and many centuries, introduced by Al Ryan.

Al Ryan introduces a highlight from this summer's Ryedale Festival in North Yorkshire featuring the always totally infectous Jess Gillam Ensemble with a suitably eclectic mix of music drawn from over several centuries and from across the world, arranged for, and performed by, saxophonist Jess Gillam and her hand-picked ensemble. The concert was given in the rural setting of St Peter's Church in Norton, in July.
