• Esperanza Spalding's 2005 recording debut - now in Limited Edition vinyl pressing : Audiophile Grade 180 Gram HQ Vinyl.

• Grammy Award Winner (2011 Best New Artist) Esperanza Spalding's first recording project, the nine-track ‘Junjo’ includes original works by Esperanza, pianist Ortiz and drummer Mela in addition to handpicked classics by Brazilian composer Egberto Gismonti, Jimmy Rowles, and Chick Corea.

• Spalding is unusually a double bass-player and vocalist - and wonderfully adept at both. Her vocalese licks on “Loro,” are an album highlight, and on the title tune, she scats rapid-fire in unison with Ortiz’s piano line. “Cantora de Yala” is a special treat; Esperanza sings in Spanish, her sole accompaniment her own supple bass playing.

• The highly simpatico and relaxed mood that pervades Junjo produces focused and perceptive performances by all three trio members and results in a particularly revealing insight into the many talents of the album’s gifted young leader.
