Esperanza Spalding - Video InterviewBeing a young, black, female, acoustic bass player and singer definitely marks out 21-year-old bass prodigy Esperanza Spalding from the hordes of jazz hopefuls graduating from the likes of Berklee and the Royal Academy. While none of these facts are significant in isolation, it’s the rare combination of her natural aptitude for the instrument and her incredibly mature musical instincts that have the jazz seniority raving about her.
Watch our exclusive video interview with Esperanza as she explains what life is like as on of Berklee College’s youngest instructors, how her first album came into being and what she feels the youth of today need from jazz.
