NEW AND UPCOMING RELEASES:

Esperanza Spalding: Chamber Music Society




Esperanza Spalding has won the GRAMMY^® Award for Best New Artist. Winners were announced by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) at the 53^rd Annual GRAMMY^® Awards on Sunday, February 13, 2011, at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Spalding is the first jazz musician to ever win the Best New Artist GRAMMY^® Award. She was nominated along with Justin Bieber, Drake, Florence & the Machine, and Mumford and Sons. Spalding combines the imaginative flights of a serious improviser with the musical accessibility of a pop star and within two years of her solo debut has reached nearly unimaginable heights. Esperanza, her 2008 release, spent over 70 weeks on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz chart and was the most successful internationally selling debut that year. Chamber Music Society, Spalding’s most recent release, is a brilliant marriage of string and jazz trio, and a showcase for her eclectic sensibilities along with her vocal and compositional talents. In January 2011, Chamber Music Society hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Albums chart. Available now on CD and Vinyl.
