Who is that incredible jazz bass girl?


Saw her twice now on pbs. Most recently stole the show playing for the prez at the tribute concert for Stevie Wonder. She is a young black woman who sings and plays bass with a jazz troop and sounds way beyond her years.
Anybody know who Im talking about? Would like to buy her albums.

Esperanza Spalding... and she swings too, Phat pocket...

Thats it! Esparanza Spalding thanks, how about that, right here in Portland. Brazilian influence is definitely there, big fan of bosa nova Getz/Gilberto stuff
Have her cd on order, wonderful jazz voice.
