Jazz bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding has always been precocious. She started playing the club scene Portland, Ore., as a teenager. When she was 20, she became the youngest faculty member ever at Berklee College of Music in Boston. And now at 23, after playing with jazz giants like Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny, she is releasing an album in three languages. She joins us with a live performance.

I saw you this morning 2/25/09, on Tavis Smiley. I was very impressed with your musical talent and mentality.
It occured to me that you might be interested in obtaining the double bass that belonged to the late Malachi Favors. He was a Jass musician from the 1950's. The bass dates back to the 1950's and may be older.
Please contact me if you are interested or would like more information.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
Norma
