How fabulous it would be for the younger generation of musicians to here their peer play with the best Jazz guitarist. http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=629049>1=28102 This is very personal as I live across the river from Portland, Oregon. I am also attending Berklee College of Music in fall 2011. Aside from those two facts, it is extremely exciting to see a young Afro-american female bassist make it to the top! Pat, take my word, you will not be disappointed in doing a project with Esperanza! ~V

Her unique quality is something that goes beyond her pretty amazing musical skills; She has that rare ’x’ factor of being able to transmit a certain personal kind of vision and energy that is all her own." (Taken from ES’s Wiki-article; there’s another Pat reference to be found there too.)
