If "esperanza" is the Spanish word for hope, then bassist, vocalist and composer Esperanza Spalding could not have been given a more fitting name. The youngest faculty member ever hired by Berklee College of Music is making waves all over the jazz world. Blessed with uncanny chops and a multi-lingual voice that is part angel and part siren, this 25-year-old prodigy-turned-pro is an irresistible performer who has been called "the future of jazz and instrumental music." A jazz experience not to be missed!
