Jess Gillam and trumpeter Alison Balsom are joined by a live audience at The Hay Festival to have a listening party of some of the music they love the most. Alison brings along one of their most beautiful tunes and outs herself as a Queen superfan, then shares the Miles Davis tune that brings her most joy. Meanwhile Jess shares an absolute banger by Piazzolla, an epic sax solo by Rachmaninov and a breathtaking performance by Nina Simone.
