Discover the trailblazing saxophonist, Jess Gillam, the 20-year-old who signed an exclusive recording deal with Decca Classics earlier this year - becoming the first saxophone player to join the historic label. Her first two tracks capture her versatility and musicality, and provide a taster of what’s to come on her debut album next year.
Her debut singles coincide with her double appearance at The Last Night of the Proms, performing Michael Nyman’s ‘If’ (from The Diary of Anne Frank) at Proms in the Park in Hyde Park and ‘Brazileira’ from Scaramouche by Darius Milhaud as part of the Last Night of the Proms in the Royal Albert Hall.
Both tracks are available digitally here: decca.lnk.to/s...
Just heard her at the NAC in Ottawa playing the piece Glasslands for 25 minutes. Virtuoso solo playing!!! Got much deserved standing ovations.
Only three recordings so far. I can't get enough of this.Hopefully a full album soon. This is really inspiring "feel the blood flowing in your veins" type music.
At last ! A Saxophonist that sounds un-apologetically like a Saxophone playing this piece. Most versions Ive heard try to emulate a violin with their tone, vibrato and character. Love your playing ! Thank you.
Exactly
I love your playing! So full of character! I really want to attend your concerts and hear you play live! Keep up the great work! Load of love!
What a weapon! She's killing it
Love the interpretation!!! Bravissimo!!!!
what a banger
im realy just focus on Vandoren strap..
its so COOOOOOOOOOOOOL
You’ve inspired me to get my saxophone out again
What make is your alto Jess?
@@steveholbrook4017 it looks like a Yanagisawa?
Yanagisawa Alto
Dangerous musician. I like it.
Absolutely stunning! Hello from South Africa. 😎♥️
superrrr
Just fabulous! Thank you for such wonderful music.
Cá no Brasil também amamos essa belíssima composição!
This is still my favourite peice, your performance at Wendover yesterday evening was fantastic thank you so much for your inspiration. 😊
This song sounds like how birds might feel flying through the air.
Well played. Nice tone!
Bravo!!!!!!!
AMAZING CONGRATULATIONS BEAUTYGIRL!
Perfect!!!
WOW....I found this because it's Clemency Burton-Hills choice of music for today. The sun is shining brightly in the sky as well as in this music - fantastic: enough to put anyone in in the best of moods.
bellissima davvero!!!!!
Woow nicely organized.this arrangement could touch my 🫀
Brilliant!
Saw you at the Sage the other day. You're an incredible musician, keep doing what you're doing!
I have listened to this song way too many times during lowdown
Can't get enough!
Me encantó, es hermoso, escuchar esto, me alegra el día :))
I agree with comment that at some points of the song it’s too heavy. The take on it is fine and it works. I like how it’s played. Her tone is very good. I think that the punctuations of the notes, makes it heavy on the song. This is just my opinion because as we all know music can be played in many styles. I think if the tempo was a touch faster and the notes was lighter it would be perfect for me. Also at 1:57 she plays that section VERY good.❤❤❤❤❤
brilliant really nice tone
loved it
太棒了
This really is absolutely perfect!!
what a nice sound
Wonderful! :D
catchy song
we played this in my class and everyone thought you were so pretty
I've just bought one of your cds. Too be honest I hadn't heard of you till I was drinking one of your Dad's coffee's which is nearly as good as your playing
Very different style but it sound pretty good
I play this for my grade 8 exam plus i am only yr 4
Wonderfully performed with a lovely accomplishment. I'm quite inspired to try to play it my own interpretation. If your looking at a score and listen it would be confusing because much of the articulations are not present. You can learn this version by listening and transcribing.
Insane
BRAVO’
she be good
I play it two but it is hard to learn but now I hear you. I love it
You played that at our school
Arisan Ravendran lucky
❤️🎷👏👏👏👏
amazing
Nice sound !!! which mouthpiece are you using?
Shes using an s90 selmer mouthpiece. with a mo ligature from vandoren
And might I add, how about lets seem how many chamber/studio students want to play this from memory Lmfao
bravissima
Stylistically, this feels a little heavy, it's an interesting take, but I am definitely partial to Jean Marie londiex's recording. She has a wonderful tone and control over the instrument, but I feel as if the stylistic intent may not have been taken into consideration. That's only my opinion
Agreed, but I like her take on it. It's unique and something I haven't heard before
Aaaaaand heres the salty purest trying to ruin the fun.
@@sglasssssss I understand theres room for artistic interpretation. But in pieces like these composers have the right to be specific about they style. For one thing I do like the way she accents some of the beats and gives it some flair. However, this piece is called scaramouche because it's supposed to be light and playful. She is a wonderful musician, but the style she uses makes it feel heavy. Everyone experiences music differently and I understand my comment may have been a bit rude, and i apologize.
@@zekerobertsmusic2479 see, interpretation is quite diverse, especially in post modernist classicism...I would call her expession the exact definition of playful! Perhaps in some peoples opinions TOO bright. That is the beauty of her presentation here, it is different without sacrificing the show of technique. Which lets be honest, standards as this are more for us as musicians than anyone (:
@@sglasssssss you make a fair point, if we never challenge ourselves to do things differently, how will we ever grow?
POV: You got Scharamouche to play and this is the best video of it u could find.
💖💖💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
Amazing performance. Greetings from Izmir, Turkey !
Fantastic sound!!!
Sehr gute (andere) Interpretation - die Frau ist relaxed (kein Wunder bei play back?) und hat Humor - Super!!!
Just brilliant. would you mind telling us what reed and mouthpiece you were using here? It sounds great.

Hello
Fanastic interpretation.
Where can I get the scores of this arrangement?
codi ficado my mum
yeet yeeet chekeen feat
I’m not too sure but there’s a piano score sheet on the Piano Street website.
Oh no even luna our dog is dancing
😀😀😀😀
What saxophone do you use
It is a Yanagisawa AWO020u, which is un-lacquered bronze.
La Strada soundtrack
Anyone know of any other sax or clarinet pieces that are the same style and similar to this one?
Bryan nothing is really the same in the classical saxophone world but this is a waltz so maybe Waltz no 2 By Dmitri Shostakovich? But other great classical saxophone repertoire include The creation sonata (listen to Donald Sinta) excerpts of classical repertoire like Pictures at an exhibition 2. The old castle by Modest Mussorgsky and maybe Paul Crestons Saxophone concerto? There is other great saxophone literature but those are the ones that pop into my head
😳
You can find this video under search result, “How to make classical music fun, and not uptight.”
Classical music is self-sufficient without that preversion. People can make new music with the synthesis of classical and jazz music, they can play new music just like they want, but Scaramouche is an old classic, so it must be played like classic, because it will be meaningless, brainless otherwise! A composer is not stupid, he didn't write it for swing, and swinging and using of rude attach is tasteless. Of course, she could make an arrangement and play it, like Eugen Cicero, but she just took a beautiful, self-sufficient, classical music and transformed it to a gaudy formless absurdity! The beauty af this music is in the culture of performance!
@@DrSend your being a snob
Dr. Send I’m not talking about her musicality, but rather her heart and soul that she puts forth into the music. It makes it an absolute blast to watch, while other classical players I’ve seen lack such charisma which makes them seem uptight.
@@meme_enthusiast3021 why do you think that? I've told something about myself? I've just wrote my opinion about this video and about a comment of Cade Sauce.
@@cadesauce theI'm even scared to ask you, who did you see. If you want to know my opinion, I've seen great masters like Jean Denis Michat, Arno Borncamp and Nobuya Sugawa. Did you see their performances? They are absolutelily wonderful! And it's not something, like a soul or heart, or charisma. They give it to music. It feels like a magic.
I just wanted to tell you, that classical music is beautiful without any swing, rude attac. It is beautiful in its primordial form, when you play music like it was written by composer and shows your images, your history in music, in ckassical form.
Did you hear this music without swinging , rude attac and bloating of notes? Listen it from Nobuya Sugawa! He makes magic!
Would that be classical jazz under the phrasing 🤔🎶🎵🎷
Yuz a right whizzo on your saxamaphone x
Who is the arrangor ?
not bad
Samba style pls
Is no-one gonna talk how the name is Scaramouche??? (from Genshin)
I think you play it too heavily
But can she play Baker Street?
Only the late Bob (Can I have a 'P' please) Holness could play Baker Street.
Sounds great, 🙁 sorry a bit flat
JUST WOW😍 I know plenty of 'purists' will shit on this girl and her adaptation of this just like Branford's concertino da camera, but this is BRILLIANT! What a performer.
It's fake. No one can play this without notes
I don’t doubt that they probably did record a music video and overlayed a studio recording where she probable had sheet music over it, but most of the time when you play a performance especially with an orchestra, as a soloist you would memorize pieces like this, and not just one of the movements, but memorize the whole 12 minute piece. It’s actually much easier to memorize quick stuff as your fingers go autopilot usually anyway, but slower movements like movement 2 are much more difficult to memorize. I personally am not a fan of this interpretation. Her tone is really jazzy, which is okay, just I’d prefer if it weren’t. Also at the 16th and 32nd note section she swings it and it is awful to my ears. She added in her own ending on the last note going into altissimo via an arpeggio, which is really unusual to do for a piece as a classical musician. However I’m not sure what I was meant to expect going into a classical saxophone piece, with a VEVO music video. I was expecting classical saxophone, not mainstream sax playing classical rep.
You think too much with this song and you play too much accent
