I'm a little surprised more people don't know about Esperanza Spalding.

I missed the first part of her section, so only caught about 30 seconds of her playing electric. Thanks for posting the link!

The entire performance is posted there as well - there is another recent thread about this as well.

She is awesome - talented, plays her but off and I believe she is only scratching the surface - she is multilingual as well - huge star rising, can't wait to see her live!

Oh man, what a voice. She did the vocals for Stanley Clarke's "All Over Again" on The Toys of Men. I loved it, but I didn't know until now that she played bass too!

Yeah, she's been on NPR and played at the White House several times.

Look on Youtube for some interviews of her. She is incredibly disciplined and driven. The excercises she worked out to become good at singing and playing are real eye-openers.

Yeah, it's fretless. Looks like a Fender Jaco Pastorious Signature model.

More people should know about Ms. Spalding.

Me too! For a second I thought this might be an old resurected thread. That's ok. Slowly but surely people are hearing her. It doesn't matter how they get there, as long as they get there.
