ESPERANZA SPALDING Radio Music Society Sunday, June 23 @ 9 PM Vogue Theatre “Spalding is something of a smoldering cross between Jaco Pastorius and an Adele.” - Premier Guitar Bassist/vocalist/composer Esperanza Spalding is on a roll! In the last several years she has captured a 2011 Grammy Award for Best New Artist (the rst jazz artist to do so) edging out Justin Bieber, Drake and others; played with Prince, Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder; and jammed with jazz heroes Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny. A young trailblazing musician who has irted with Afro-Cuban rhythms, Brazilian bossa and string-laden chamber jazz, her latest project the 12-piece Radio Music Society blends jazz (Wayne Shorter’s ‘Endangered Species’ with her original lyrics), funk and soul (Stevie Wonder’s ‘I Can’t Help It’) into an exhilarating ride for the listener. “She’s incredible. She doesn’t make music. She makes magic.”—Jon Stewart, The Daily Show The 28th annual TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival, produced by Coastal Jazz & Blues Society, runs from June 21 - July 1, 2013.
