The Spring Quartet: Jack DeJohnette, Joe Lovano, Esperanza Spalding, Leo Genovese

Don't Miss
If you see Esperanza Spalding and Jack DeJohnette on a bill, buy a ticket. Spalding is the not-so-new rising star of jazz and adjacent genres (R&B, bossa nova, neo soul) who plays bass, both upright and electric, like she was born under a low-end sun. Her scatting and singing have a honeyed, soulful quality. DeJohnette is a highly influential vet drummer of jazz whose extensive résumé includes work with Keith Jarrett, Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Alice Coltrane, and so many others. On this tour, they land in Seattle as part of the jazz-pushing Spring Quartet, which also features saxophonist, alto clarinetist, and flautist Joe Lovano, and Argentine keysman/composer Leo Genovese.
