Since the release of her debut in 2008, Esperanza Spalding has enjoyed success, accolades and critical acclaim for her career to date. Her debut - Esperanza- became the bestselling album internationally for a new jazz artist and in 2011 she became the first jazz artist EVER to win a Grammy for Best New Artist.

The bassist, singer and composer has made numerous TV appearances including The Late Show with David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel Live, has sung at the White House, has won numerous awards and was asked to perform at the Nobel Prize Ceremony and the Nobel Peace Prize Concert.

On Chamber Music Society, Spalding created a modern chamber music group that combined the spontaneity and intrigue of improvisation with sweet and angular string trio arrangements. The result was a sound that wove the innovative elements of jazz, folk and world music into the enduring foundations of classical chamber music traditions. It was, again, a great success and the bestselling contemporary jazz album of 2011.

April 2012 sees the release of her third album, Radio Music Society - a more upbeat and energetic set which will combine her original compositions with covers of songs by the Beach Boys and Wayne Shorter.
