Beautiful voice and a phenomenal bass player. She’d be great if she was 75, but the stuff she’s doing at 23 is truly amazing.

Thanks, Higgy! I just refreshed today and I had no idea about her other album!

@Higgy I second that good call. Fell in love with her most recent album, which for whatever reason I thought was her debut, and am stoked that you pointed this out on my refresh date.

She does have a lovely voice a and knows how to use it. I get so tired of overproduced female leads who sing into machines and then have the machines decide what they sound like. This is nice, beautiful, real singing. Makes me feel like I need a glass of wine and a smokey lounge.

Nice post, perhaps a minor oversight that y’all didn’t link to her — Emusic has several of her fine recordings, including the recent Esperanza (http://www.emusic.com/album/Esperanza-Esperanza-MP3-Download/11217612.html) and the earlier Junjo (http://www.emusic.com/album/Junjo-Junjo-MP3-Download/11266828.html).

I love Esperanza Spalding and Alice Smith! She definitely seems talented to me. I wonder what the jazzheads think about her….
