Can you believe that Esperanza Spalding is the first artist in the past 35 years to receive a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist? Jazz is one of the most interesting, complex, stimulating music, how is this possible? There are many reasons that come to mind why she should win, and I truly hope that she will. She knows music, plays, music, she's a true artist. The music world needs artists such as Esperanza Spalding.
Esperanza Spalding will be on tour this month, starting at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts, Newmark Theater on February 25th and the University of Southern California, Bovard Auditorium on February 26th. Check out her entire tour schedule here.
