Esperanza Spalding is a rare and beautiful treat to the music scene..
Ga ga for Esperanza
Self taught to play bass by age of fifteen!
Her Mamma put the silk in her stride-, claiming to be her greatest influence “she was hip enough to teach me all before I understood..” mixing sexy with smooth like a delicate, seductive, detailed and defined dessert..
Left on your lips and mind, she’s just oozes cool, vocally and visually
Someone you would want to have over for dinner, someone you would instantly feel dope with when in her presence.
Her music is breath taking, calm, and so different to any thing going on these days..
An instrumentalist, vocalist and composer, influenced by saxophonist Donald Harrison, singer Patti Austin, and pianist Micheal Camilo…This divine being, only 24 years of age, studied at Berkley and seems to allude beyond her years…
She is doing something for the Jazz scene that I think is safe to say has not been done before on an modern, organic, international level…
She manages to mix a classic Billie Holiday, feel with Stevie Wonder, while delivering a Lauryn Hill, Foxy Brown resemblance, a down right cool attitude..
Composed and complete, rocks out and rocks with perfection..
Totally spunk, total gift, totally talented
Her name means ‘hope’ in Spanish, and she has said of her music she wants to lift people up and bring about hope, girlfriend most defiantly lives up to her name…
One in a million, someone’s shoes I would love to wear for a day, just to feel that way, that velvet grove of jazz and understanding of its truth and simplicity.
All I got to say is at some point today
Visit “endangered species”, and “grooves” on you tube and be taking away
May not mean much to some, but Letterman described her as the ‘coolest guest he had ever had on his show”…
Rarely do you see a woman playing bass…she can too switch to violin
Melting, mood, music. no lolly pop candy rubbish….she plucks on her bass, and hello you just as I did too, will go GAGA for Esperanza..
Blessings
Light
Sparling water of notes heart hit on high…
