Esperanza Spalding


While browsing around the internet in search of some new inspiration, my eye came across this new young artist, only 24 years of age and already running for a Grammy Award this year in the category Best New Artist. From the land of Portland, Oregan, she brings to the scene something very unique and controversial. She is a prodigy on the double bass, and accompanies this (rather than the other way round) with her hypnotizing voice. She has already been made part of the faculty at Berklee School of Music and explores many variations surround the style of Jazz.
Either way, she is well worth checking out!
