Performing Arts Series presents the Esperanza Spalding Trio
Nightingale Concert Hall
November 4, 2009
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
The University of Nevada, Reno, Performing Arts Series presents vocalist/bassist Esperanza Spalding. Uncanny instrumental jazz chops, soaring vocals spanning three languages and composing/arranging talent cross-fluent in both old school and new edge: bassist/vocalist/composer Esperanza Spalding owns the x-factor. No one was surprised when she enrolled in Berklee College of Music at 16, and became its youngest faculty member at 20. Playing in the big leagues, the young veteran has already landed touring and recording gigs with such other prodigies as Herbie Hancock, Patti Austin, Joe Lovano and Pat Metheny, and been named 2008 Best New Artist in the recent Jazz Times Readers’ Poll. Not bad for 23.
