I’ve seen the 25 year-old Esperanza Spalding on the live broadcast of the Nobel Prize Ceremony for Barack Obama. She is truly one of the greatest musicians and singers of our time. Almost immediately after graduation from college, in 2005, Spalding was hired by Berklee College of Music, becoming one of the youngest professors in the institution’s history. Spalding has recorded two albums “Junjo” (2006) and “Esperanza” (2008). More infos about Esperanza Spalding.
And if I am talking about Esperanza Spalding, I have to mention José James too. He’s also a great artist and Jazz-singer. Signed to Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings, his debut album “The Dreamer” was released in 2008 to worldwide acclaim, including 21 of JazzTimes Top 50 Jazz Albums of 2008. More infos about José James.
Be sure to check out the releases of both of them. It is totally woth it. Pure nice sounds for your ears!
