Fiercely rhythmic, and fully informed melodically and harmonically, Esperanza Spalding on electric bass may have been a new sound, but her playing on Let Her sings with soulful expression. ?
“Anything is possible on upright, but that song just seemed texturally like it needed electric bass, and it set the tone. I'd been playing the electric for a few years without focusing on it as a primary instrument, so it was new in a way.”
