As part of the 2024/25 MPAC Presents Jazz series the Marcus Performing Arts Center welcomes five-time Grammy Award Winner, Boston Music Award Winner and Soul Train Music Award winner, American Jazz bassist, singer, songwriter, and composer Esperanza Spalding.
Emphasizing the simplicity and intimacy of her voice, bass, and songs, in this special configuration of 2 musicians and 2 dancers, Esperanza performs songs from all 8 of her previous albums, songs from current releases, plus a special preview of her forthcoming project.
Esperanza Spalding (a.k.a. irma nejando) is an eaabibacliitoti* artist, trained and initiated in the North American (masculine) jazz lineage and tradition. Her work interweaves through various combinations of instrumental music, improvisation, singing, composition, poetry, dance, therapeutic research, storytelling, teaching, regenerative agriculture, urban land & artist-sanctuary custodianship, and growing in love as a daughter, sister, cousin, niece, auntie, great-auntie, friend, while collaboratively decolonizing within and through her hometown community.
