Esperanza Spalding: Jazz bassist, free spirit


















"People change so much. I change. I go through so many sentiments, experiences and thought processes, and I'm in different cities and around different people. My surroundings are so diverse and so my style changes a lot. But I just go with the flow. Sometimes I feel more funkier than other days. Sometimes it's more simple. It's cool. It's about feeling good about yourself and whatever you feel like dressing at the moment."
