jheis Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Oh yeah, she's the real deal. Studied under Joe Lovano at the Berklee College of Music & was hired as faculty shortly after graduation. Check out her version of Cuerpo y Alma (Body & Soul). I think she is a worthy successor to the likes of Ron Carter & maybe even up there with Ray Brown - plus she can sing!

Islander Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Esperanza Spalding played JazzFest here a couple of years ago and did a great show. She does play and sing well, plus she talked to the audience a bit about her bass and was well-received. Here's a clip of her playing a guitar-style acoustic bass on The Jimmy Kimmel Show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8gynGy8pSg&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Looks like she has been on several shows. There is also a youtube video of her on Letterman. Did a great job there also. She is cute as can be plus a great talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 jheis, putting "Esperanza" in a Youtube search window will give you all kinds of results. My reference is her doing "Overjoyed" at the White House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 I must have an eye for picking talent. It's now 8 months later and the girl just won a Grammy! Here is a current link to a video of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
