Esperanza Spalding and Terri Lyne Carrington Perform at the 39th Annual Detroit Jazz Festival
These two jazz artists will be the first Detroit Jazz Festival Resident Ensemble as they highlight the music of Geri Allen, their friend and collaborator who passed away last year
Bassist Esperanza Spalding and drummer, Terri Lyne Carrington, have a lively and introspective conversation with Essential Music Host, Ann Delisi, as they share their philosophy about playing jazz, teaching it to a new generation and their planned performances at this year’s Detroit Jazz Festival. When asked whether they still get nervous, Esperanza Spalding shared story about working with Herbie Hancock that got a good laugh out of Terri Lyne Carrington.
