If “Esperanza” is the Spanish word for hope, then Esperanza Spalding could not have been given a more fitting name. She will, in fact, challenge and expand your perceptions of jazz, and might well be the hope for the future of jazz and instrumental music. Blessed with uncanny instrumental chops, a multi-lingual voice that is part angel and part siren, and a natural beauty that borders on the hypnotic, the “20-something” prodigy-turned-pro takes a completely fresh and refreshing approach to jazz by incorporating the rich traditions of soul, pop, world music and so much more.
