Featuring Esperanza Spalding
May 29, 8:00 pm

Widely held as a child prodigy on the double bass within months of first cradling the imposing instrument a a 15-year old, Esperanza Spalding has hardly stopped to catch her breath in the years since. Blessed with uncanny instrumental chops on the acoustical bass, a soaring multi-lingual voice that is part angel and part siren, and a natural beauty that borders on hypnotic, the 24-year-old prodigy-turned-pro weaves together the best of the traditional and the progressive.

Produced b Society for the Performing Arts

I saw the article in this morning's Chronicle. I have a thing I have to go to with my wife. So I can't attend.

Crap times 100,000. Being an adult sucks sometimes. Esperanza is a wonderful player and singer. She sounds really good on Joe Lovano's new album.
