Esperanza Spalding

[Rick88]

Anyone else of fan? I think she is an immensely talented young lady. I have "Chamber Music Society" on vinyl, and I really like it. I ordered her new one "Radio Music Society" (Deluxe Edition CD) the other day, and it should be here tomorrow...

Also, I think she's adorable. I just love the afro!!

I'm still quite devastated at her win over the Biebs for "Best New Artist" at last year's Grammys!! In fact...I can just now talk about it. :mad:


No, really...I've heard great things about her music. Moreso in just the past few months. I'm thinking I would like to try it. Probably will start with "Chamber Music Society". Probably a safe bet since I just love Yo-Yo Ma (pretty much all of it, but "Plays Ennio Marricone" - SACD version - is my favorite).

Does she have any of her stuff out on SACD?

[Rick88]

No, none of her music is available on SACD at this time. I hope that someday it will be though... :cool:

Wow, I thought there would be some fans of Esperanza here...

The new CD is great, kind of a mix of Jazz, Soul, and Pop. This girl is quite a breath of fresh air, and it is nice to see artists like her & Adele have success. I highly recommend the deluxe edition with a DVD for $3 more!!

Did I mention that I think she is a very attractive young lady?? :wink:

Yes, a terrific jazz musician. It is good to know that she will be keeping me in tunes for the rest of my life. Here is a profile of her in the New Yorker: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/03/15/100315fa_fact_colapinto

You can find her on wax. Vinyl for those of you in Rio Linda.

I just started listening to her stuff about a week ago.. and i definitely would dig deeper onto it.. :)

Haven't heard her music Rick. I will check it out.

Your actually the same distance away from Montreal as me ( 6 1/2 hours). Nice drive, I'm looking forward to it.

I've listened to her music, not really my type of music. She is very cute though.
