Well, I had read about Esperanza in the usual publications and found it hard to believe that a "Chick" could hack it. I was impressed with the overall sound of the band, the musical style and the way she fronted the band. I am looking forward to Friday, you get a singing bass player fronting a band, writing, arranging and all the "Jazz" that goes with it, it takes a special kind of individual to do that, Esperanza does it in spades.
For me anyway.

Absolutely. For what it's worth, the "jazz Nazis" amongst the critics appear very taken with her.
