Esperanza Spalding

Esperanza Spalding at Kean University in Union, NJ

This year’s Grammy® Award winner for “Best New Artist”, Esperanza Spalding mesmerizes audiences by deftly blending classical and jazz to create modern chamber music with touches of folk and world sounds as well. Considered by the London Evening Standard as, “One of jazz’s finest young talents, perhaps its greatest single hope for the future,” Spalding triumphs at the ripe age of 26.
