If you are working with an art form or if you are working with the music, you have to respect where it came from. Where it was at that moment and where you think it could go.

“Whether exploding into vocalese or making her bass solo sound like a horn, she’s a spark plug who dances as she grooves through a funked-up and rocked-out repertoire.”—Billboard  Esperanza Spalding © Andrea Canter
Bassist-vocalist-composer Esperanza Spalding has captivated audiences with her compelling vocals, unmatched instrumental ability, and charismatic stage presence. Spalding will perform at the Samueli Theater of the Orange County Performing Arts Center on Friday, November 6th and Saturday, November 7th with shows at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. each night. With a beguiling blend of Brazilian melodies, Afro-Caribbean grooves, post-bop harmonies and lilting vocals, 25-year-old bassist Esperanza Spalding combines the imaginative flights of a serious improviser with the musical accessibility of a pop star. At 20, the Portland, Oregon native became the second youngest musician ever hired as a professor at Boston’s Berklee College of Music (second only to Pat Metheny who was 19 when he was appointed). She landed that gig after graduating from the school in 2005.
