Jess Gillam with... Olivia Chaney
Jess is joined by folk singer-songwriter Olivia Chaney to swap some of their favourite tracks, including music by Joni Mitchell, Bart贸k, Louis Andriessen and Sufjan Stevens.
Jess's guest this week is the folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Olivia Chaney, who was born in Florence and grew up in Oxford. She's collaborated with artists including Kronos Quartet, Nico Muhly and The Decemberists (earning a Grammy nomination for her project with the latter, Offa Rex). Her recording of the folk song 'Dark Eyed Sailor' recently featured on the soundtrack to Emerald Fennell's highly-anticipated film "Wuthering Heights".
Jess and Olivia's musical picks range from Bart贸k reimagined for the mandolin, to the Miles Davis Quintet, via a fantasia by Purcell, maximalist minimalism from Louis Andriessen, and the perfect love song from Joni Mitchell.
