  • Esperanza Spalding has always resolutely, intuitively, deftly expanded upon both her art and herself as a world-renowned genre-bending composer, bassist and vocalist. Her latest album, "12 Little Spells," explores the healing power of art and how music and the body interact, with each song-spell inspired by a different part of the body. Spalding took the BUILD stage to tell us about the LP and play a few songs.

      Kinda disrespectful to title this video "Jazz Basist Esperanza..." while she's clearly saying she's not, and not want to name herself a jazz musican.

      Esperanza and Justin being mentioned in the same sentence is an accurate example that that is something rotten going on in the music industry.

    It is beyond my comprehension how someone can be that intelligent, educated, talented and graceful as Esperanza. When I first saw her in a recording of a concert at White House (with Obama) where she performed the song "Tell him" by Lauryn Hill, I was litterally shocked by her talent and that ease while singing and bass playing at the same time, while smiling innocently.

    Thank you. This is illuminating. A smart beautiful woman. No jazz musician at all, as we could hear from her music already, besides the good technical competence. She likes to play with words too; while she denies the jazz musician role and keep on speaking of big jazz personalities she dealt with though. I like her singing in Kris Davis' Diamond Ribbons best. Maybe she is at her best as a music teacher, who knows

Really, it's my connection with my music or the performance that is off and that is where the work needs to be done... Thank you for that lesson.

    I enjoyed hearing Ms. Esperanza Spalding and her D-evol-ution concert live a few years ago. On improvisation, it is a birthing, a storytelling, a release of a unique and intimate product what we've cognitively synthesized. On her discussion of music as therapy: as a brain injury patient, I turned to music to help me heal. I'm crying now remembering how important it was to me- music saw me through that horrifically painful time. Therapists, talk to your patients, listen to them, ask them what you need to know to be the best music therapist. Peace, Love, Music, Laughter are indeed essential parts of the healing process.
