It is not easy to categorize esperanza spalding’s music – or the musician herself. She is an adventurer who merges soul, funk, rock and big band (among others) in her traditional music, while her command of Brazilian and Afro-Cuban styles is just as skilled. She was the first jazz musician ever to win a Grammy for Best New Artist. With Off-Brand gOdds she will close her residency on Sunday. With this project, spaldings aims to breathe new life into the interaction between dance and jazz. She shared her idea with choreographer and dancer Antonio Brown, who reacted with enthusiasm. During the concert, spalding will present works from her latest album in collaboration with Brown’s New York-based dance company Antonio Brown Dance. Off-Brand gOdds is a performance, spalding stresses, but for the performers, it also functions as a study and a testing ground at the same time.
