i dig these fresh beats.

i just can't get enough of this live set from the oh-so-delightful esperanza spalding. she tore it up at the newport jazz festival last month. she's been one of my new fav women of jazz/soul/rhythm [she plays the upright bass and sings!] ever since i discovered her music last winter, but this live set has been quite the show-stopper to top all that i've heard from her so far.

please listen in. all the way through. and then repeat.
she's great. reeeally great.
as always, thank you npr for providing such treats and sweet jams. you're my favorite.
