2012 release from the Grammy-winning Jazz bassist/vocalist. Radio Music
Society is a companion, rather than a sequel, to Spalding's previous
disc, Chamber Music Society, which reached #1 on the Billboard
Contemporary Jazz Chart. Among its many strengths, Radio Music Society
is a celebration of the men and women who have helped cultivate
Spalding's talent, as well as those who have nurtured her vision and
inspired her along the way. In addition to longtime partners Lovano,
keyboard player Leo Genovese and drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, the
ranks contain Jazz legends Jack DeJohnette and Billy Hart; guitar heroes
Jef Lee Johnson and Lionel Loueke; an array of master vocalists
including Algebra Blessett, Lalah Hathaway, Gretchen Parlato, Leni Stern
and Becca Stevens; hip-hop giant Q-Tip (who performs on and co-produced
two tracks); and two Portland-based musicians, Janice Scroggins and Dr.
Thara Memory, who provided essential mentorship in Spalding's youth.
