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 (“Loro”), Jimmy Rowles (“The Peacocks”), and Chick Corea (“Humpty Dumpty”).
On “Loro,” her vocalise licks are an album highlight, approximating the bop-influenced solo line that in another setting might be covered by a trumpet or sax. 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 highly focused and keenly 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. (freshsoundrecords. com)
