Esperanza Spalding - Esperanza - 2LP on Eco Green Coloured Vinyl. To Be Released on 13th November.

Esperanza Spalding’s first label release “esperanza” has become a modern classic with “I Know You Know” and “Precious”. Upon release, The New York Times said: “It’s an attempt at bringing this crisscrossing of Stevie Wonder and Wayne Shorter to a new level of definition and power.”

Available on vinyl for the first time the 2LP gatefold edition features updated artwork, pressed on eco jade green coloured vinyl. Includes two bonus tracks from the original sessions: “O Bem Do Mar” and “Sunlight”.

Esperanza Spalding performed “If You Can See Me”, the Bowie track so darn wonderfully at Radio City Music Hall, in NYC in April 2016…I stayed up all night to watch it live online from Cambridge. One of the copies of this record will certainly be for the proprietor of this establishment!
