Esperanza Spalding is making her Australian debut for this year’s festival, celebrating her groundbreaking new project with Emily’s D+Evolution. The shows will see her take to the stage with guitarist Matthew Stevens and drummer Justin Tyson for a trio set that will bring Spalding’s renowned back-catalogue to mesmeric new life.
The virtuoso composer and performer has continually blazed unmarked territory, winning the 53rd Grammy Award for Best New Artist – marking an unprecedented win for a jazz musician.
