Spunky jazz and soul musician Esperanza Spalding will be touring from August to October this year in support of her latest album Emily’s D+Evolution. The tour starts off with performances at the Richmond Jazz Festival and John Coltrane Int. Jazz and Blues Festival, followed by a number of North and South American stops.
