    Seven collaborative and six solo albums into her career, Esperanza Spalding has always resolutely, intuitively, deftly expanded upon both her art and herself as a world-renowned genre-bending composer, bassist, vocalist, lyricist, producer, and actor. Her work, grounded in jazz traditions but never bound by them, has won her four Grammy Awards, the Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award, the Americans for the Arts Award, and the NAACP Image Award; and it's brought her onstage at the Oscars, the Nobel Prize ceremony, the White House, and with Prince, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Milton Nascimento. Spalding's visionary performance of her acclaimed 2016 album, Emily's D+Evolution, incorporated stage design, movement, and acting into her already vivid musical storytelling practice. Her newest release, Exposure, is a 10-song album written and recorded in 77 hours with every moment streamed via Facebook Live. She is currently a professor of the practice in the Department of Music at Harvard University.

    I wish I were younger so I could have gone to Berklee this semester. Of course, it would have been difficult to act like a student, and not just a fan if I was in Esperanza's class!

    Very inspirational speech by Esperanza. Loved it when she says "We don't know what we're doing when we play..." and that IS when we play our best. I don't play anymore except with my dog, it's an unfortunate story about my upper extremities...boo hoo; but my dog will be ready for marching band next football season.
