Esperanza Spalding September 30, 2011

Singer, bassist, composer and Best New Artist Grammy Award-winner Esperanza Spalding, has forged an impressive and varied career. Since relocating to the East Coast from Portland, Oregon, the Berklee graduate has worked with Michel Camilo, Dave Samuels, Regina Carter, Joe Lovano, Patti Austin and more and has forged her own trail of eclectic and dynamic contemporary jazz. A decade into the 21st century, Esperanza Spalding takes a contemporary approach to chamber music with her new project, Chamber Music Society. Inspired by the classical training of her younger years - Esperanza creates a modern chamber music group that combines the spontaneity and intrigue of improvisation with sweet and angular string trio arrangements encompassing elements of jazz, folk and world music into the enduring foundations of classical music.
