Esperanza Spalding - Esperanza

In case someone is wondering why I am playing albums in a row that have absolutely nothing to do with each other: I am literally rebuilding my music database and just spin my mouse wheel over my folder list and pick an album from the artist folder where it stops 

I was about to write I am not such a big jazz fan, but thinking about it I have many weak spots in that genre, from soul-jazz & blues-jazz to swing and from Ella Fitzgerald to Miles Davis, so ....

This lady is very talented and plays many styles, like Afro-Cuban fusion, Post-Bop, Brazilian rumba, soul and even jazz-pop and hip-hop.
Don't underestimate, this album hit the contemporary jazz chart list and stayed there for 70 weeks.

Her instrument is acoustic bass, and that is what she uses on the album but how about playing I know that you know on electric bass guitar? Just as easy:
