 Grammy Awards -- Esperanza Spalding Anyone watch the Grammy Awards last night? Singer and jazz bassist Esperanza Spalding won the Best New Artist award, the first for a jazz musician.     |

| I'm positively thrilled. FInally, a little recognition for a "new" artist who's actually making new music. Of course, the music industry's patting themselves on the back now over their "new" find--but us folks in the know who bought junjo 5 years ago or so have known she's one of the most exciting things about music since then... |

| That's great to hear. Normally I can't be bothered watching it but I would have liked to have seen that.

| Ms. Spaulding is indeed one of the great talents in jazz these days - she sings beautifully and plays a fluent and melodic bass. And she is a local personage too! She comes from Portland, OR, which is just down the road from where i live. When she plays at the Portland Jazz Festival we'll love it! |

| Been listening to her on YouTube before she even had an album, hot bassist. The youngest instructor Berklee ever had. So glad Jazz got some of the prop's and recognition it deserves. Congrat's Esperanza!!!!
