Jess Gillam with... MILO艩

Jess and guitarist MILO艩 swap some of the music they love the most, including works by Dvorak and Vivaldi, Philip Glass reimagined for the harp and a Bob Dylan tune.

Jess's guest this week is guitarist MILO艩. One of the world's most successful classical guitarists, MILO艩's musical life encompasses not only championing great guitar works, but also reimagining other music he loves onto the guitar and collaborating with musicians from all over the musical spectrum... including a saxophonist called Jess Gillam!

MILO艩 and Jess settle in for a listening party of the music they love, including a transcendental choral piece by Edward Bairstow, the full force of Dvorak's New World Symphony, Philip Glass played on the harp and a Bob Dylan classic reimagined by Chris Thile and Brad Mehldau.

Plus Jess plays some of the best music to take you into Saturday evening.
