Presto Presents: An Evening with Jess Gillam

Presto Music is delighted to welcome celebrated saxophonist, presenter and electrifying performer, Jess Gillam to Leamington Spa, to celebrate the launch of her new album, SHINE, due for release in October 2026. 

Spanning 900 years of music, SHINE brings together folk traditions, Baroque masterpieces, jazz, classical music and contemporary song in a programme that reflects Jess’s eclectic musical upbringing, and marks Jess’s first album as co producer, working alongside Norwegian violinist and artistic director of Barokksolistene, Bjarte Eike, Sam Becker and engineer and mixer Will Purton.

“I had one ambition with this project: to make an album that would make people smile,” says Jess. “I wrote down an album manifesto about a year ago and it simply said: BIG ENERGY. BEAUTY. MUSIC TO MAKE PEOPLE SMILE. MUSIC TO LIFT PEOPLE UP.”

This event will include live performance from Jess alongside conversation about the album and her music.

Doors Open: 6:00pm
Event Begins: 6:30pm
