Jess Gillam with... Will Gregory
Jess Gillam and composer/producer Will Gregory share their favourite music, including Berlioz, Ennio Morricone, The Shangri-Las and Charlie Parker.
Jess Gillam鈥檚 guest this week is the musician and record producer Will Gregory, known as one half of the electronic duo Goldfrapp, and more recently for his work with the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble.
Originally a saxophonist, Will played with the likes of Tears for Fears, Peter Gabriel and The Cure, before teaming up with Alison Goldfrapp in 1999 to form their acclaimed electronic duo. He has also composed for television, theatre and the opera stage.
Jess talks to Will about his life as a musician, and they share some of their favourite music, including the soundtrack work of Ennio Morricone, the orchestral pyrotechnics of Berlioz, a song by The Shangri-Las, and, naturally, saxophone, courtesy of Charlie Parker.
