Eight Gigs: Esperanza Spalding

Esperanza Spalding made history by being the first jazz artist to win a Grammy for Best New Artist in 2011 at the ripe age of 26; four years later, it's clear that she's not at all precious about the aesthetic that brought her that success. Emily's D+Evolution, Spalding's new show, is an amalgamation of music, poetry and performance art. Granted, it's still jazz, but brought to you by Spalding's whimsical, hip persona, Emily, who has an impressive collection of Skittles-colored spectacles and wants everyone to just “feel what you want to feel.” 10 College Parkway in Folsom, www.facebook.com/EsperanzaSpalding.
