#EsperanzaSpalding (Esperanza Emily Spalding, born October 18, 1984) is an American #jazz bassist, singer, songwriter, and composer. Her accolades include four Grammy Awards, a Boston Music Award, and a Soul Train Music Award.
A native of Portland, Oregon, Spalding began playing music professionally in her childhood, performing as a violinist in the Chamber Music Society of Oregon at age five. She was later both self-taught and trained on a number of instruments, including guitar and bass. Her proficiency earned her academic scholarships to Portland State University and the Berklee College of Music, both of which she attended, studying music.
Spalding released her first album, Junjo, in 2006 on the Spanish label Ayva Musica, after which she signed with the independent American label Heads Up, who released her 2007 self-titled album. Her third studio album, Chamber Music Society (2010), was a commercial success, charting at number 34 on the Billboard 200, and resulting in Spalding winning her first Grammy Award for Best New Artist; Spalding was the first jazz artist to win in this category. She saw further acclaim for her fourth release, Radio Music Society (2012), which earned the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album, as well as the track "City of Roses" winning for Best Arrangement, Instrument and Vocals.
After spending the following several years performing as a supporting band player, Spalding released her fifth studio album, a funk rock-inspired concept album titled Emily's D+Evolution, co-produced by Tony Visconti, on Concord Records. The following year, she released the album Exposure, which was limited to 7,777 copies. Her subsequent sixth studio record, 12 Little Spells, was released in 2019, and peaked at number one on Billboard's Top Jazz Albums. The album also saw Spalding nominated for two Grammy Awards, winning in the Best Jazz Vocal Album category.
In addition to writing and performing music, Spalding has also worked as an instructor, first at the Berklee College of Music, beginning at age 20. In 2017, Spalding was appointed professor of the Practice of Music at Harvard University. In 2018, Spalding received an honorary doctorate of music from her alma mater, Berklee College of Music, and served as commencement speaker at the ceremony.

    Sinatra did I suppose the most popular version of this song. Esparanza obviously struck a chord and took them back to their childhood when they or perhaps their parents were jamming the Sinatra version. Music is a frequency and vibration and can affect our inner frequency and vibration in a positive way. Other than the song itself, the most enjoyable part of the video was watching the audience get into in it. Nothing in life could be cooler........

    followed her 2006 on my space, saw her 2008 at the bim huis in Amsterdam touring with her Debut Album, Completely fell in love with her voice, her spirit, compositions, just blown away. 2012 New York Zink Bar Jam Session, hanging with the cats, a lot of good musicians there that night, 2am having a smoke outside, cab roles up, Esperanza comes out with her Band they just finished a Gig with Sting at the Carnegie Hall, she goes into the bathroom changes to more casual clothes and plays at the session until morning. Last time I saw her was in Berlin Live concert with that Electric Performative Band. Each and every time an Absolute Bliss to witness such Grace. Thank god for this Gift of Life. ESPERANZA forever💜

    Go Esperanza!! Doin' it the hard way, yet making it look flawless and easy and it's only easy if you "ain't" doin' it. To vocal along "and" single note a giant acoustic bass and to control it's stance all at once is quite the feat only the rare can do which takes a lot of invested time and effort. That thumbs down button is only proof that the "ignorant" are amongst us and they don't have the sense go find something more credible to hate other than to mess up things for those who are enjoying this. People are not who you want them to be. Everyone be careful out there..
