• Track Listing

Rising up as a jazz bassist but immediately spreading her wings beyond any imposed genre borders, Spalding has won nothing but admiration since arriving on the scene in 2006. Her new album joyfully (and challengingly) throws together jazz, funk, rock, soul, poetry and avant-garde adventure: "Good Lava," "Unconditional Love," "Judas," "Earth to Heaven," "Ebony and Ivy," "Funk the Fear" and more. For yet more electrifying Esperanza, get the deluxe edition which adds two bonus tracks! Concord.
