This girl is the truth. She is a bassist, a singer, a composer, an arranger and now a Grammy nominee. She is so bad, Prince asked her to open for him at one of his NYC concerts. Now that's a seal of approval. I downloaded her album Esperanza
a while back but just recently got around to really, really listening to it. I'm in love. Here's the single, "Precious
" from the album but seriously, her whole catalog is worth a purchase.

LOVE Esperanza. If you get a chance, you should also give Junjo and Chamber Music Society listens.
Thank you Lady. You just made my day with that post.
Love it.
I've been sleeping on this one!
I second that. 'Little Fly' off Chamber society just gives me pause.
^^ YES. I was soo glad when I found someone in my generation to add to my rotation for music which gives me pause.
For anyone who hasn't seen her rendition of Stevie Wonders - 'overjoyed' & Lauryn Hill's - 'tell him' at the White House Evening of Poetry, Music and Spoken Word:
