Esperanza Spaulding Releases Chamber Music Society CD
Esperanza Spalding is releasing her second album on the Heads Up label, Chamber Music Society , on August 17th. Chamber Music Society is Spalding's follow up to the 2008 release, Esperanza, which sat atop Billboard's Contemporary Jazz chart for over 70 weeks.
About the CD:
On the opening track of her much-lauded, self-titled major label debut, Esperanza (Heads Up, 2008 ), bassist/vocalist Esperanza Spalding covered Milton Nascimento's timeless gem, “Ponta de Areia." Rather than covering another of the singer/composer's tunes on Chamber Music Society, Spalding recruits Nascimento to perform on her own “Apple Blossoms." It's but one example of a highly intriguing set that blends her classical training with jazz, pop and soul tendencies.
