I'm putting this in the bass guitar section because at the end of the piece, Mike Stern says how much he loves her electric playing. I remember starting a thread where I said that she could potentially be a new voice on fretless. I hope she does more electric in the future.

Hope on, but in the meantime enjoy the DB goodness!

This is a video of Esperanza on bass guitar that I have not seen before. My goodness, this is one awesome musician!

This is another clip of the same song from this summer, so Phil, Ms. Spalding is still rocking the fretless!

The cool thing about her is that she'll play any bass and make it work.

True, but I think that B string slowed her down a hair on that clip from France. I see her more and more with a freeness Fender Jazz, I think that is her preferred bass guitar.
