Ahh time to express my delight at Esperanza Spalding’s Grammy win for Best New Artist. OH YEAH!!! IF you’ve been wandering into my blogcasa for a while, then you might recall that I’ve posted another live video of Spalding igniting jazz heat onstage. I hope this delightful young woman continues firing smoking hot jazz for decades and decades to come! If you haven’t met the incredible Ms. Spalding yet, then here’s your chance. If you have–then just relax and bask in the ”steam”.

There is a wide variety of wonderful music clips on the Canyon Records site which makes it enjoyable to explore extensively.
KKFI’s Native Spirit Radio’s host Rhonda LeValdo commented today that she didn’t understand why there was still only one category for Native American music in which pow wow competes against traditional music and other various Native American genres. Yes, every style of Native American music is apparently lumped into one category.
Enjoy whatever you discover.
