Esperanza Spalding
Bassist, vocalist and composer Esperanza Spalding took the jazz world by storm when she released her self-titled CD in 2008. With a potent mix of whimsy, charisma, enthusiasm and unbridled talent, Spalding likes to mix pop, soul, funk and jazz, with a little classical thrown in from time to time just because she can. Her recordings feature guitar grooves, smoldering saxophones and, of course, the heartbeat of her double bass and effortless vocals.
