Esperanza Spalding, a Grammy-winning jazz virtuoso from Portland, Oregon, is a rhythmic marvel. Born in 1984, she grew up in a musical household, mastering various instruments early. Her love for bass blossomed at 15, honing her skills in blues clubs before Berklee College of Music. With her 2006 debut album "Junjo" and the self-titled follow-up (2008), Spalding revolutionized modern jazz, blending blues, hip-hop, and Brazilian music with her buoyant voice. Favored by former U.S. President Barack Obama, she performed at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies. The commercial success of her third LP, "Chamber Music Society" (2010), earned her the 2011 Grammy for Best New Artist. This paved the way for her bold funk-rock exploration with "Emily’s D+Evolution" (2016) and her role as a Professor of the Practice of Music at Harvard University.
