Podcast appearances and mentions of Esperanza Spalding

Мультиинструменталист и композитор Nicholas Payton собрал трио визионеров с басисткой и вокалисткой Esperanza Spalding и барабанщиком Karriem Riggins, чтобы записать очередной шедевр под названием TRIUNE - ТРИЕДИНЫЙ. На прошлой неделе этот альбом в чате JazzWeek получил сразу три номинации - Больше всего добавлений (+26), Наивысший рост (+94) и Лучший дебют недели (No. 29). Я слежу за этим РадиоТопом и публикую еженедельно на канале уже более 5 лет, и такое бывает очень редко, поэтому я сразу начал его слушать и делюсь с вами моими чувствами.TRIUNE означает три в одном, и именно так функционирует это трио, - объясняет Пэйтон. Каждый из нас - лидер сам по себе, но вместе мы создаём единое звучание.TRIUNE воссоздаёт ритм-секцию, которую Пэйтон изначально собрал в 2010 году для квартета, в который также входил пианист Тейлор Эйгсти. Я же познакомился с ним в 2019 году, когда обозревал альбом Relaxin' with Nick, затем были еще 4 интересныx альбомы, ссылки на которые будут ниже. Он один из самых разнообразных джазменов, который сочиняет пьесы в разных стилях и этот альбом не исключение. Опять множество интересных идей, музыкальных находок и коллабораций радуют уши и создают прекрасное настроение. Вокалисты опять становятся популярными и среди приглашенных именно они делают погоду. Особенно в треке, который я добавляю в мой плей-лист, как лучшую композицию альбома. Репертуар альбома в основном состоит из композиций Пэйтон, за исключением пары треков, написанных покойной пианисткой и композитором Geri Allen, чьё влияние изящно ощущается на протяжении всего альбома. В результате получился альбом, пропитанный городской изысканностью: сложный в своих гармонических структурах, но при этом невероятно приятный для прослушивания даже неспециалистам. Это музыка, которая легко и непринужденно обнажает свой интеллект, замысловатость, не теряя при этом теплоты и грува.Здесь меньше навороченных электронных спец-эффектов, чем в предыдущих альбомах. Он более акустический, что так же радует и хорошо показывает мастерство музыкантов. Есть в нем фанковые грувы, которые создает басистка, орлеанский свинг лидера и хип-хоп барабанщика. И да, это тот альбом, который зацепил меня с первого трека.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1826136689RELAXIN' WITH NICK - https://t.me/discor/5106QUARANTINED WITH NICK - https://t.me/discor/5558SMOKE SESSIONS - https://t.me/discor/6233THE COUCH SESSIONS - https://t.me/discor/6656DRIP - https://t.me/discor/6894Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 9 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor

At risk of seeming sexist, it must be noted that the two prodigies of the bass featured here are female, and perhaps that, in some sense, informs their approach to their artistry.  Listening to BC by Tal Wilkenfeld, and Esparanza Spalding's Vague Suspicions, one cannot help but appreciate both the technical precision, and the soulfulness of their musical expression. The bass rarely takes the lead in an ensemble - they are usually responsible for holding down the bottom with the drums. However, occasionally, the bassist will step forward into the limelight - Charlie Mingus and Jaco Pastorius come to mind - and, this inversion can lead to some amazing revelations. ESPERANZA SPALDINGI was inspired to read that Esperanza Spalding had been afflicted with Juvenile idiopathic Arthritis as a child. That this was to be the launching pad for a career as master of one of the most physically demanding instruments imaginable - the upright bass -, puts me in awe.  (She also plays the violin, guitar, piano and the oboe). Having the ears and instincts of a prodigy, she was given a full scholarship to the Berkelee School of Music, where she was also granted an honorary doctorate and professorship at age 20.By the way: let's not neglect to mention her singing, which is miraculous, lifting easily from conversational mode to a soaring airiness, there are unmistakeable echoes of Billie and Ella.  Besides all this, she's on a mission to make jazz more mainstream - attested by the title of the album Radio Music Society, from which this track derives. If anyone can accomplish this feat, it's this Grammy Award winner. TAL WILKENFELDI first became aware of Tal Wilkenfeld when I saw Jeff Beck play A Day in the Life at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremonies. There was Beck, looking relaxed and dashing - delicately maneuvering his whammy bar… and to his left stood what looked like a street urchin with wild ringlets, following his every nuance, note for note, wielding a massive Fender bass, which was as big as she was. It was alchemy. Later, I watched the Live at Ronnie Scott's video where you could really see the two magicians extended celebration. She was around 20 at the time, possessed of a preternatural talent, and sidekick to one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived. Since then, the master has left this realm, and the apprentice has stepped forward to become her own front person - living in Nashville, playing with her band, and her calendar is filled with multiple special appearances and collaborations. And, to top it all, she's jolly. Her sense of humor is obvious, partnering with comedians, Marc Maron, Spinal Tap, and Jeff Ross on their projects.

Des Britanniques sixties au rivage d'Essaouira, en passant par un Brésil très seventies. Une playlist. Une fusion. Des musiciens. Tous les mois, le critique musical Sophian Fanen présente ses 5 titres obsessionnels. La cuvée de septembre est la suivante : - Trio Ternura, A Gira, tiré du 45 tours Trio Ternura, compacto 1973 (Universal Music, 2025) - Alvaro Lancellotti, Abre Caminho, tiré de l'album Arruda, Alfazema e Guiné (Amor in Sound, 2025) - Nick Drake, Strange Face (Rough Mix With Guide Vocal, 11th September 1968), tiré de la compilation « The Making of Five Leaves Left » (Island Records, 2025) - Amaarae, S.M.O., tiré de l'album Black Star (Golden Angel, 2025) - Saint Levant, Wain Maady Wain, tiré de l'album Love Letters (Deluxe) (Salxco, 2025).   Puis retour sur la fusion du Maâlem Houssam Gania avec Marcus Gilmore au Maroc. Le batteur américain Marcus Gilmore et le Maâlem marocain Houssam Gania  ont partagé la scène au festival Gnaoua et Musiques du Monde en juin 2025 à Essaouira, Maroc. Nous les avons rencontrés dans une salle de répétition souirie ouverte sur l'océan Atlantique. Avec le son des vagues... Et des mouettes ! Marcus Gilmore : le pouls du jazz moderne Marcus Gilmore est un batteur qui apporte une nouvelle voix au jazz, mêlant énergie, précision et profondeur émotionnelle dans chaque battement. Élevé dans une famille musicale, il a grandi entouré de rythmes, et aujourd'hui, il est l'un des noms les plus intéressants de la scène internationale. Au fil des années, il a joué avec des légendes comme Chick Corea, Vijay Iyer et Esperanza Spalding, tout en sculptant son propre chemin en tant que leader de groupe. Ses projets Actions Speak montre sa passion à pousser le jazz dans de nouveaux territoires, mélangeant groove, mélodie et liberté. En 2025, Marcus est attendu de sortir un nouvel album qui promet de plonger plus profondément dans son monde créatif, un pont entre les générations et les genres. De nature curieuse, il continue d'explorer des collaborations qui le stimulent et inspirent, vivre de sa musique, une force respiratoire sur scène et en studio. Houssam Gania : l'héritier Fils du légendaire Maâlem Mahmoud Gania et héritier d'une tradition gnaouie ancestrale remontant à Ba Massoud, Houssam Gania porte en lui l'âme de la tagnaouite.

Très jeune, il se distingue par sa maîtrise des traditions gnaoui, tout en restant ouvert aux rythmes du monde. Son talent, allié à une rigueur et un travail acharné, lui permet de se forger une identité musicale forte. En 2012, il accompagne son père pour un concert en Belgique, amorçant ainsi son parcours sur la scène internationale. Deux ans plus tard, en 2014, il fonde son propre groupe à Essaouira, et se produit au Maroc, en Angleterre et aux Pays-Bas. En 2016, il marque les esprits lors du concert hommage à son père et à Doudou N'diaye Rose au Festival Gnaoua d'Essaouira. La même année, il monte sur la scène de Mawazine pour une fusion avec Omar Sosa et Mehdi Nassouli, affirmant sa capacité à transcender les genres musicaux.

Otis Brown III didn't just grow up around music, he was shaped by it. With a father who drummed for legends like James Brown and Al Green, and a mother who was a classically trained pianist and choir director, Otis was raised in a home where rhythm and soul were a way of life. In this episode, we trace Otis's journey from early church gigs to Donald Byrd's midnight mentorship and on to stages with Esperanza Spalding and Robert Glasper. He breaks down his debut album, The Thought of You, the emotional power of drumming, and the unique pressure of leading a band. We also unpack Whiplash, the dark side of music education, and whether greatness comes from obsession, or in spite of it. Plus: his take on Kendrick Lamar, jazz-meets-hip-hop fusion, and the rhythms that speak louder than words. Guest bio: Otis Brown is a Grammy-nominated jazz drummer, composer, and recording artist who is a go-to session and touring sideman. He's studied under jazz icon Donald Byrd and trained at The New School. He's performed with Joe Lovano, Esperanza Spalding, and Gerald Clayton, known for his expressive playing, deep humility, and dedication to elevating music with soul and purpose. SUPPORT THE ZACH SHOW BY SUBSCRIBING TO THE ZACH SHOW 2.0 (BONUS EPISODES & EXCLUSIVE CONTENT): https://auxoro.supercast.com/ OTIS BROWN III LINKS:Website: http://www.obthree.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ob3isme/The Thought Of You (Spotify): https://bit.ly/45ugNDLTwitter: https://x.com/ob3ismeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ob3isme THE ZACH SHOW LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auxoro/YouTube:  https://bit.ly/3CLjEqFNewsletter: https://therealzachwrites.substack.com/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@auxoropod To support the show, please leave a review on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Join host Austin Williams and new music ensemble Hot Second ( Rebecca McDaniel Percussion and Dylan Feldpausch Violin/Viola) as we discuss their unique ensemble and its take on new music in Chicago.The conversation consists of thoughtful insights on how an ensemble can think outside of the traditional cannon and use influences from pop and other styles to help shape the sound they work with. A unique aspect of the ensemble is the incredibly vibrant collaboration that occurs between Rebecca and Dylan, to the point where they are writing and improvising their own music in real time.MUSICGabriela Ortiz: "Atlas-Pumas”José Martínez: Instructions for Playing, III, VDylan Feldpausch: “Quartz"Esperanza Spalding, arr.

Welcome to the Blink Friction Arts Podcast and the Music Crazy Robots.Today we are holding the Low End: exploring Renowned Female Double Bass Players Who Changed the GameWhen we think of double bass players, it's easy to conjure images of towering instruments, smoky jazz clubs, and the deep rumble of classical orchestras. But while the double bass has long been considered a male-dominated instrument—perhaps due to its sheer size and physicality—women have not only held their own but reshaped the narrative in profound and inspiring ways.Here's a celebration of some of the most renowned female double bass players, spanning genres from classical to jazz, who continue to break boundaries and make their mark.1. Esperanza SpaldingIf there's a modern icon of bass brilliance, it's Esperanza Spalding. A musical prodigy, Spalding plays both double bass and electric bass with virtuosic ease, weaving jazz, fusion, classical, and soul into a genre-defying tapestry. She made headlines in 2011 by winning the Grammy for Best New Artist—an award rarely given to jazz musicians. With a string of critically acclaimed albums and boundary-pushing live performances, Spalding's influence reaches far beyond the bass community. She's also a professor at Harvard, emphasizing innovation in music and performance.2. Chi-chi NwanokuBritish-born Chi-chi Nwanoku is a trailblazer in the classical music world. As the founder of the Chineke! Orchestra—the first professional orchestra in Europe made up of majority Black and ethnically diverse musicians—she has made it her mission to open doors in a traditionally exclusionary space. A formidable double bassist in her own right, Chi-chi was a principal bassist with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment for over 30 years. Her career blends musical excellence with social justice, making her a vital voice in contemporary classical music.3. Linda May Han OhHailing from Australia and now based in New York, Linda May Han Oh has become one of the most in-demand jazz bassists of her generation. Whether leading her own projects or playing with legends like Pat Metheny, Joe Lovano, or Vijay Iyer, Oh brings a deep musicality and sharp improvisational mind to every performance. Her tone is warm, articulate, and commanding, with an emotional range that speaks volumes. She also teaches at the Berklee College of Music and the New School, nurturing the next wave of bass talent.4. Kristin KorbA rare mix of bassist and vocalist, Kristin Korb blends bebop agility with a velvet voice. Originally from the U.S. and now based in Denmark, Korb carries forward the tradition of singing bassists (think Ray Brown or Slam Stewart) but with a distinctively elegant and lyrical touch. Her interpretations of jazz standards are joyful, inventive, and rhythmically tight, making her performances feel both timeless and fresh.5. Caroline EmeryFor lovers of classical double bass pedagogy, Caroline Emery is a key figure. A professor at the Royal College of Music in London, Emery has trained a generation of outstanding bassists, many of whom now play in top orchestras worldwide. She's known for her work with young musicians and her emphasis on posture, breath, and physical awareness—an essential contribution to transforming how double bass is taught and performed.6. Jennifer LeithamJennifer Leitham, a veteran of the jazz scene and an accomplished composer, performer, and educator, is best known for her work with the likes of Mel Tormé and Doc Severinsen. Her playing is powerful and deeply rooted in jazz tradition, but she's also known for pushing the envelope both musically and personally. As a transgender woman in jazz, Leitham has been an advocate for visibility and acceptance in the music world, proving that artistry and authenticity go hand in hand.7. Amy DominguesClassically trained yet artistically adventurous, Amy Domingues has explored everything from Baroque continuo playing to post-rock collaborations and experimental sound art. Based in Washington, D.C., she's a cellist and double bassist with a unique voice. Her work highlights the double bass's capacity for subtlety, beauty, and textural depth across genres.Why Representation MattersThe double bass may be one of the largest and most physically imposing instruments in the orchestra or on the bandstand, but these women show that passion, skill, and vision aren't confined by size or stereotype. They've not only expanded what's possible on the instrument—they've redefined who gets to play it.Whether you're a student, a listener, or a player yourself, exploring the work of these bassists is a powerful reminder of music's capacity to evolve—and to include.Want to dive deeper? Check out performances by these players on YouTube, explore their discographies on streaming platforms, and follow their latest work on social media. And if you're learning bass yourself—take heart: these legends prove that the possibilities are endless.Follow the music crazy team on YouTub @taletellerclub

Russian state television used to portray the US as the Kremlin's biggest adversary. But since President Donald Trump's return to the White House, state-controlled media outlets in Russia are changing their tune. Also, the race between China and Japan to build the fastest bullet train. And, a cross-cultural collaboration between two jazz greats, one from the United States, the other from Brazil.

We interviewed Esperanza Spalding back in 2022 for Tape Op issue 147, around the time she had just finished her 8th album, Songwrights Apothecary Lab. Her latest release, Milton+Esperanza, is a Grammy-nominated collaboration with Brazilian music legend Milton Nascimento. The album is a compelling body of work that includes re-imaginations of Nascimento originals, covers, and new collaborative songs. Geoff Stanfield caught up with Esperanza from her home in Portland, Oregon, to discuss the new album and some of her favorite Milton tracks. Enjoy!

Episode 57 - Elena Pinderhughes is one of the most sought-after musicians in today's vibrant jazz scene. From touring with legends like Herbie Hancock, Common, and Chief Adjuah to performing the iconic “Mask Off” with Future on the Coachella Main Stage, Elena has already brought the flute to a new level. She's a prominent figure in this wave of brilliant young musicians rising within the new jazz world.The first time I heard her play flute, it was alongside the jazz world's GOAT, Herbie Hancock, and I immediately knew she was different. Her sound didn't just complement something already iconic—she elevated it. Since then, I've seen her perform with Terrace Martin, Lalah Hathaway, Snarky Puppy, and so many more. I wanted to understand how she's achieved so much at such a young age.I'd boil it down to these things: Intention, mind set, dedication, and a strong support system with her brother, Samora Pinderhughes.Elena talks about her journey—from being a teenage jazz star to becoming a first-call collaborator across genres. She shares stories about working with Herbie Hancock, Chief Adjuah, Esperanza Spalding, Robert Glasper, and Josh Groban, diving into the lessons she's learned and how she's crafted her unique sound. We explore the modern jazz scene, how she's making her mark, and how she balances artistry with building a thriving career.Elena Pinderhughes is a trailblazer in both jazz and pop culture, and there's no question—her career is only going up from here.‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.Please SUBSCRIBE / FOLLOW this podcast to catch new episodes as soon as they drop!

Missourians will vote on an amendment to put abortion rights in the state Constitution, after the Missouri Supreme Court put it back on the ballot. STLPR's Brian Moline and Jason Rosenbaum discuss. Plus -- Jazz musician Esperanza Spalding says she's a perfect fit for this weekend's Music at the Intersection festival. St. Louis Public Radio's Jeremy Goodwin spoke with Spalding about her expansive style.

From a lightning bolt moment watching cellist Yo-Yo Ma on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood as a child to becoming a 5-time Grammy winner, Esperana Spalding's journey has been driven by an innate love for music. But along the way, she's often felt misunderstood and misrepresented in the press.Today, Esperanza sits with Guy to talk more about the forces that propelled her rise, her decision to livestream the 77-hour process of writing an album from start to finish in real time, and the lessons she learned about presence and love while collaborating with her musical hero, Milton Nascimento, on their new album, “milton + esperanza.”Get the new album here: https://esperanzaspalding.bandcamp.com/album/milton-esperanzaLinks from the Show: Esperanza performing at the White House in 2009Esperanza's album Emily's D+EvolutionEsperanza's album Radio Music SocietyFall In, song by Esperanza SpaldingJudas, song by Esperanza SpaldingFor more conversations like this – with guests ranging from Stephen Colbert to Björk to Ice Cube– go to https://www.thegreatcreators.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Shabaka Hutchings is a celebrated saxophone player and a major figure in London's contemporary jazz scene. He was the bandleader for Sons of Kemet and Shabaka and the Ancestors, and part of the electronic jazz group The Comet Is Coming. But on New Year's Day of 2023, he announced he'd be putting down the saxophone for good and focusing on a new instrument: the flute. Starting with the Japanese shakuhachi and expanding to a variety of traditional flutes, he's now out with his first full-length album under his solo moniker of Shabaka. The album is called 'Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace,' and features collaborations with Carlos Niño, Laraaji, Andre 3000, Floating Points, Esperanza Spalding, Moses Sumney, and more. Shabaka talks with KEXP's Isabel Khalili about his transition from saxophone to flute and how it's helped him learn to release tension and relax into playing. He also discusses his thoughts on the term "Afrofuturism," how he's embraced Octavia Butler's ideas on the inevitability of change, what it means to heal through music, and his search for meaning outside of a Western colonial paradigm.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Though he's known for his fiery, raging performances with groups like Sons of Kemet, The Comet Is Coming, and Shabaka and The Ancestors, Shabaka Hutchings eases into a contemplative zone with his debut solo album, Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace.  Released on Impulse! Records and recorded at the legendary Van Gelder Studio in New Jersey—where John Coltrane cut A Love Supreme and many other jazz classics were committed to tape—the album finds Hutchings setting down his sax in favor of a variety of flutes and pondering questions about what it means to be, what it means to do, and how one gives themselves over to energizing forces. Joined by guests including Saul Williams, Euclid, Esperanza Spalding, Floating Points, Laraaji, poet Anum Iyapo, Carlos Nino, and fellow flute devotee André 3000, Hutchings drifts into a gentle, new age-inspired zone, blending spiritual jazz expression with ambient sensibilities.  “What does it mean to have music of spiritual substance?“What does it mean to be spiritual? What is spirit?” This week on Transmissions, Shabaka Hutchings joins us to discuss that force, his shift toward the flute, the influence of Outkast, and connecting with his father on a creative level.  Transmissions is a part of the Talkhouse Podcast Network.

Our deep dive into our 25 year history continues with appearances from Brian May, Esperanza Spalding, Cyndi Lauper and more!

Sad news for all of us: producer Rachael Cusick— who brought us soul-stirring stories rethinking grief (https://zpr.io/GZ6xEvpzsbHU) and solitude (https://zpr.io/eT5tAX6JtYra), as well as colorful musings on airplane farts (https://zpr.io/CNpgUijZiuZ4) and belly flops (https://zpr.io/uZrEz27z63CB) and Blueberry Earths (https://zpr.io/EzxgtdTRGVzz)— is leaving the show. So we thought it perfect timing to sit down with her and revisit another brainchild of hers, The Cataclysm Sentence, a collection of advice for The End. To explain: one day in 1961, the famous physicist Richard Feynman stepped in front of a Caltech lecture hall and posed this question to a group of undergraduate students: “If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence was passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?” Now, Feynman had an answer to his own question—a good one. But his question got the entire team at Radiolab wondering, what did his sentence leave out? So we posed Feynman's cataclysm question to some of our favorite writers, artists, historians, futurists—all kinds of great thinkers. We asked them “What's the one sentence you would want to pass on to the next generation that would contain the most information in the fewest words?” What came back was an explosive collage of what it means to be alive right here and now, and what we want to say before we go.
