Tonight, Diane and I will attend the Esperanza Spalding concert at SUNY at Buffalo’s Center for the Arts. If you enjoy jazz you’ll like Esperanza Spalding’s blend of jazz and Brazilian rhythms. After her surprise Grammy win, Esperanza Spalding has been touring heavily. If she shows up in your neighborhood, don’t miss her! Below is a sample of what we’re going to hear tonight.
Love, love, love her.
Esperanza Spaulding is from Portland, Oregon, Patti. I wonder if Rick Robinson bumps into her at Starbucks.
Why yes, we chat it up all the time… no. She has been in concert here a few times, but we haven’t seen her yet. She also performed at the jazz festival on the river here late last summer. It’s very nice stuff.
You would like Esperanza Spaulding, Rick. Her RADIO MUSIC SOCIETY CD gets plenty of airplay around here.
I picked up DownBeat’s May issue today.
Esperanza Spalding gets around, Todd. DOWNBEAT will sell a ton of copies with her on the cover.
