Customer Reviews:

• Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0

• Wonderfully talented artist
  The CD is well worth the money. She is a very talented artist and it is shown in this cd. I got to see her in concert and she sounds exactly the same as she does on the album so you know that there has been no work done on the cd. She plays the instruments as she sings. She is very great. I wish her first cd was a steal like this one. BUY IT!

• Refreshing!
  If you're a jazz head (or not) and you're looking for the next wave of classic recordings and talent in that idiom, get this record and rejoice. Esperanza Spalding's voice is awesome, her playing is solid, the songs are intriguing and her accompaniment is very capable. It's part world jazz, part straight ahead, part pop jazz, pop youthful exuberant jazz, part masterpiece. This album stayed on repeat for weeks and still gets played when I'm looking to be inspired by new music. Trust.

• Super Talent
  I heard this artist on a local jazz station and had to find out who she was. Bought the album and then saw her in person here in NYC and I am falling deeper in love with her every day . The album is a rare treat from start to finish. Buy it and you too may fall in love, but I saw her first.

• The future of jazz is right here
  If you're a jazz fan, get this CD and make sure you see her live. I can't put it any simpler.
  Having seen Esperanza live several times, I had some very high expectations for this CD. They were certainly met, and I'll be listening to this CD quite a bit.
  Admittedly, I don't have the easiest time catching the vocals in most songs, but that's fine by me because the tunes on here are wonderful. There's a wonderful feel to every song, and often you can pick up her bass as much as her vocals, and that's... more info
