Esperanza Spalding’s 12 Little Spells tour was an intimate, highly theatrical concert series supporting her 7th album. Winner of the 2020 Grammy award for Best Jazz Vocal Album and inspired by the healing properties of art and Reiki, each song or “spell” focuses on a specific body part. The performances were designed to be an explosion of music, words, color and movement.
“The show is a performance piece—simply staged, with a fluid, calming backdrop of projection and video, a sole cylindrical platform, graceful choreography and a three-piece band stage left. For the first ten songs, Spalding sings beautifully, then she grabs the stand-up bass, then an electric bass, while barefoot, and brings the show to a new level, integrating all of her musical talents and charms.”
