Among the artists who have already appeared at Müpa Budapest, it is the return of esperanza spalding that has been anticipated longest and most eagerly. As the years have passed, she has become ever harder to pin down, and her sphere of interest now extends far beyond singing and playing the bass: She now defines herself as a composer, poet, dancer, therapist, storyteller, educator, community builder, and even as an advocate for soil regeneration. She has five Grammy Awards, 11 nominations, and eight albums to her name. Her latest, released in 2024, was recorded in collaboration with the legendary Milton Nascimento, whom she regards as something of a mentor alongside Wayne Shorter. In her current trio, she is joined by two musicians very close to her heart: the stunningly versatile keyboardist, saxophonist and bass guitarist Morgan Guerin, and the drummer Eric Doob.
Lexus is the key sponsor of the Jazz Legends programme.
