The debut recording by acoustic upright bassist and vocalist Esperanza Spalding, a native of Portland, OR, is an exercise in joy and freedom. Well rendered for such a very young musician, it's quite notable, considering the certainty of her concept and clarity of her vision. While steeped in contemporary jazz, there are Latin flavors, unabashed free moments, and some implied and direct swing. Further, it is an expression of her well-being, optimism, and future hope for her life in this music. Also in her peer group, pianist Aruan Ortiz and drummer Francisco Mela add a hundredfold to this music and establish themselves as leaders-to-be, and are quite capable partners for Spalding's wonderful sounds. The first piece, a take of the Jimmy Rowles evergreen "The Peacocks," let's you know something special is going on. Spalding's bass leads out with the probing piano of Ortiz as wordless vocals and a modal jam all precede the melody, followed by a free section. The imagination quotient of this interpretation is off the charts. "Mompouana" is a most impressive circular tune surrounding the sweetness and light of Spalding's voice in a 9/8 time signature, choppy piano motifs, upper to midrange drama, and thoughtful, intricate secondary lines. In their ultimate playful state, "Perazuán" and "Perazela" show Spalding's ability to scat, with Ortiz on the former and furiously alongside Mela on the latter track. The other covers are a darker-than-the-original rendition of Chick Corea's neo-bopper "Humpty Dumpty" and the personable, lighthearted "Loro," written by Egberto Gismonti. "Two Bad," with a feeling reminiscent of the standard "Alone Together," is a brittle, quirky, and unpredictable tune that is the only instrumental of the lot. Spalding sings no lyric content whatsoever; her style is all natural, sensual, and precious. Whether she is coerced to sing songs in the future is to be determined. Junjo is an auspicious beginning that should catch the ears of any lover of great music.

So I’ve purchased these twice
I purchased these sheets twice because I like them that much. I’m really particular about the texture and material of the sheets I use. After trying jersey sheets about 5-6 years ago, I refused to go back to microfiber. They have the feel of a t-shirt, but it’s your bedding. I love the feeling for my pillowcases, too.
This brand’s sheets fit my mattress perfectly. My mattress is a queen sized Casper mattress and 11 inches thick. I’m also a restless sleeper. If the sheets don’t have deep enough pockets, the corners become loose and the fitted sheet tries to escape the mattress. These stay perfectly in place no matter how much I move.
As a general note, though, since I see this a lot—PLEASE check the thickness of your mattress! Not all sheets have the same pocket depth! If your mattress is 8 inches thick and you’re buying sheets that are for 6 inches of thickness, it’s not going to fit right! If your mattress is 8 inches thick and you’re purchasing sheets that are for 11+ inches of thickness, they’re more than likely going to be too big, but more likely to stay in place if you buy too small. Still, loose sheets tend to bunch on the actual sleep surface and create uncomfortable fabric ridges. Don’t do that to yourself. Buy the right sized sheets for your mattress!
For me, these are perfect! I love the colors available. I tend to buy lighter grays and teals for my bed. They survive my restless sleeping and yucky, sticky humidity of northeastern coast summers. The color doesn’t bleed out when washed. They’re such a soft, comfy texture.
The other thing about jersey knit sheets is that the top sheet drapes over your body with a bit more weight. Microfiber is lighter and doesn’t give you the ‘completely covered’ feeling that I find I love about the jersey knit sheets. The jersey knit sheets, I find, because of the material weight, naturally sit and slightly conform to the form they are draped upon. Once again, being a restless sleeper, I do not have to worry that my tossing and turning will cause the sheet to attempt escape from my bed and body on its own. But they also do not make me feel additional warmth. I do not like being hot when I sleep. They are perfectly cool on their own or with a light knit blanket on top. They won’t trap in heat that you don’t want them to. If you want to trap heat, add a warmer blanket.
They do tend to be a little on the expensive side in comparison to other jersey knit sheets, so I tend to wait for the sales to grab them! But I really, really like this brand.

High Quality - Great Price
Size: Queen, Color: Blue
Great sheets. They are soft, wash up well, fit as stated. The fabric makes it easier to make the bed. I would recommend to everyone.

Maybe a bit short on sides?
Size: King, Color: Blue Chambray
Really soft, but the sides are short for a king size bed. Plenty of length. So I’ve had to turn it sideways. Maybe it got sewn wrong?

Wish the sides were longer
Size: King, Color: Blue Chambray
I love jersey knit sheets. They are comfortable in all temperatures. These do not disappoint particularly for the cost. Unfortunately the top king size sheet is too small, with only just barely enough drop, on the sides. Length wise they are fine.
