Additional Junjo Information
|
Junjo boasts an unusual format: A young American woman playing bass and singing wordless vocals with the accompaniment of a Cuban pianist and drummer. But 22-year-old Esperanza Spalding, an Oregon native who teaches at Boston's Berklee College of Music, is so confident in her multiple roles (she also produced the album, released on a Spanish label) and the music goes down so easily, all awareness of her band's makeup quickly fades. With their lighter-than-air quality, the tunes sometimes recall early Return to Forever (an association underlined by the inclusion of a Chick Corea composition) and her playing boasts the warm, richly amplified quality favored by many young bassists. But with pianist Aruan Ortiz stretching and shaping the melodies, Junjo is winningly personal. In addition to several originals by Spalding, alone or in collaboration with Ortiz or her drummer, Francisco Mela, it includes a smart and playful reworking of Jimmy Rowles' classic, "The Peacocks." --Lloyd Sachs

What Customers Say About Junjo:

I bought the product as a gift for a friend. The person was very happy with the gift.
This young lady (emphasis on young) is just such a ball of exuberance and energy and it comes through in her music (playing and vocals). What will she be like in 10 years. If she is, then music will be fine. Creative yet listenable.
I look forward to whatever she puts out in the future. She will definitely become one of my favorite artists. When you hear her sing and play it's hard to believe you're listening to someone as young as she is. I bought this CD and her latest CD, "Esperanza" and I simply fell in love with her. When I heard her I could not believe it. I had been told about this young lady approximately 6-8 months before I actually listened to her CD. She is absolutely incredible in her playing and singing for her age and the type of music (jazz) she sings. It hard to imagine what levels she will achieve if her beginning is any indication.
Mrs. Absolutely and highly recommended for jazz lovers. This a really fantastic jazz Cd. Spalding not just play bass as an angel, she sing as another angel.
Esperanza is a true gift to all who enjoy jazz. A true dichotomy: Some of the best smooth, tough, calming and energizing music that speaks to my heart, mind and body. In fact, she will appeal to those who don't often listen to jazz, but who love good music.
