Esperanza Spalding Radio Music Society

Event Description

“She’s incredible. She doesn’t make music. She makes magic.” – John Stewart, The Daily Show

Bassist/vocalist/composer Esperanza Spalding has been on a roll since she shocked the world with her “Best New Artist” win at the 2011 Grammy Awards (the first jazz artist to do so), beating out more popular competition like Justin Bieber, Drake and others. She has played with Prince, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder and her own jazz heroes Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny. Her latest project, the 12-member Radio Music Society, blends jazz, funk and soul into a category of its own.
