Esperanza Spalding - Esperanza (2008)

"She's young, gorgeous and immensely talented. A superb bass player, an already highly
nuanced vocalist and a promising composer, Esperanza is a triple threat who may very well
be one of the key figures in defining the direction jazz will be heading in the 21st century."

Spalding is of African-American, Welsh and Spanish descent,and describes this has a diverse
ethnic heritage that includes "Welsh, Hispanic, and Native American roots in addition to the
unidentified roots from Africa." Her Hispanic roots trace through her mother, a native of
Southern California, who indirectly educated Spalding in Spanish by hiring a Cuban nanny.
