Spalding delivers!
by Anonymous on 6/13/18Broome County Forum - BinghamtonEsperanza Spalding and her fellow musicians and vocalists performed in a way that gave old time jazz fans the chills with echoes of Eartha Kittt's style and the true sound of improv ensemble playing. Spalding and her group thrilled old and new jazz fans by subtle exhibition of deep knowledge of jazz roots, individual musicianship, and joy in playing together. The one drawback was the venue - fine for a big production such as an orchestra or opera, but it lacked the intimacy and sound quality that a smaller, more intimate venue would've allowed, as well as more immediate interaction with the audience. Even so, the fans were enthralled. And I, for one, was amazed to have the opportunity to have Spalding In Binghamton, NY.
