Eureka!


There's this song on an Esperanza Spalding EPK I heard in early 2009...but it had no name. Let me describe it to you. It's jazzy. Jumps all around the scale. Reminds me of the visual of an ency weency spider, climbing up...you know. Short quick staccato pricks on the bass serve as an entry way to a flute like vocal. Soon, with the vocal flute, lower curt bass registers on the scale. Then....

Wait. That's it? And there's no name? What song was that? Let me look online... *searching every Esperanza Spalding song on her website, Youtube, MySpace, and second CD.* Nothing.

August 2010... Oh, she's coming out with a new album! Let me check the new EPK video (^).

@7:42...

Wait. I've heard that song before. Let me compare with her old EPK. *Checks, hears the same flute like vocal riffs....*

That's it!

The song is called "Really Very Small." It was nameless on Esperanza's first EPK in 2008. Now it's on her album with the Chamber Music Society, called Chamber Music Society, featuring Gil Goldstein (arranger), Gretchen Parlato (vocals), and Terri Lyne Carrington (drummer) to name a few. It comes out this Tuesday.

Sleep easy.
