In collaboration with Maxim, Fasching presents an evening with one of the most groundbreaking jazz artists of our time: esperanza spalding. A five-time Grammy winner, collaborator with Wayne Shorter, Milton Nasciment and Herbie Hancock, and professor at Harvard, spalding has spent her career reshaping the edges of jazz. She is a bassist, vocalist, composer and artist whose presence transforms performance into ceremony. Music flows through her entirely – as if she’s less a performer and more a conduit between sound and soul.
Her return to Stockholm makes this night even more powerful. It’s a rare opportunity to witness an artist who doesn’t just interpret tradition, but actively reshapes the future. Her work is high-concept and visionary, yet grounded in a deep sense of humanity and accessibility. This is music that moves the body, stirs the spirit, and gently recalibrates the soul.
Joining her is Argentine pianist Leo Genovese – longtime collaborator, Grammy winner, and master of free-form expression, with a Grammy award for best improvised jazz solo to prove it. Leo’s playing shifts effortlessly from rhythmic fire to lyrical whispers, echoing spalding’s own expansive artistry.
Together, they create a space where music lives and breathes—playful, spiritual, and wide open. An evening where jazz isn’t only played, it’s created.
See you at Maxim (not Fasching)!
