release description

Esperanza Spalding's Radio Music Society is her most diverse, ambitious and masterful recital to date. The 12 songs are accompanied by 11 conceptual music videos, which further express Esperanza’s inspiration and story behind the songs. Shot in various locations from New York City to Barcelona and Portland, all of the videos will be available with the digital download and the deluxe DVD version.

Spalding’s latest release, Radio Music Society, expands the cast to include, among many others, jazz legends Joe Lovano, Jack DeJohnette and Billy Hart, hip-hop giant Q-Tip, Algebra Blessett, Lalah Hathaway, Gretchen Parlato and Lionel Loueke, among an array of notable vocalists.

Among its many strengths, Radio Music Society is a celebration of the men and women who have helped cultivate Spalding’s talent, as well as those who have nurtured her vision and inspired her along the way. “Art doesn’t thrive with too much analyzing and explaining,” Esperanza Spalding notes, “The idea of radio music is very broad.” Radio Music Society is destined to expand the concept even further, not to mention the horizons of the music world’s most exceptional young artist.
