In July, Jess premiered a piece written for her by internationally renowned saxophonist Barbara Thompson entitled “the Sky’s the Limit” at the World Saxophone Congress in Strasbourg. Barbara and her husband Jon Hiseman asked Jess if she would like to make a music video for the piece and they travelled to the Lake District and Jess’ hometown of Ulverston to film the video which will be released in 2016. Jon Hiseman and Asue Azar filmed the video.
Barbara writes – “It is a real treat to write a piece for such a talented young 17-year-old saxophonist, and I hope this will be the first of many collaborations”.
