A highly varied exploration of classical, folk, and contemporary in saxophonist Jess Gillam's PRISM, Vol. 2, and a survey of 16th-century music written for Shakespeare's plays.
His songs included "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park," "The Old Dope Peddler" (set to a tune reminiscent of "The Old Lamplighter"), "Be Prepared" (in which he mocked the Boy Scouts) and "The Vatican Rag."
Three unique pairings — guitar/flute, oboe/harpsichord, and clarinet/piano — each with a fascinating repertoire focus. Plus early vocal music, piano concertos, solo piano, and a wide-ranging album for harp.
