Aspen Music Festival: Recital: Jess Gillam, saxophone

"British saxophonist Jess Gillam is one of music’s young firewrackers. At 15, she gave a TEDx talk on her instrument, receiving over 100,000 views on YouTube. Her pioneering approach to concerts includes a desire to see more dancing, cheering and clapping between movements, saying, 'an instinctive reaction from the audience only prove[s] the joy of music.'"
