I trained with Mel Brown when I was 15, and Esperanza was 14. She was already one of the most talented musicians at the entire camp including the instructors. Andre St. James, Thara Memory, Dan Balmer, all recognized her as a prodigy. During the week, she composed 4 original pieces for a 5 piece. She wrote all the parts, performed with the group, and sang. If you think that you are in any position to criticize anyone that is as talented and accomplished as she is AT HER AGE, you are delusional.
@@stuartmunro6027 It is hard living in a world full of people who can't tell their balls from their brains. You see a cute girl and all reason and logic go out the window. I could prove how bad she is with a pitch meter and a comparison with any average base player and if you never saw what shew looked like you'd agree but you're all controlled by your hormones and have no actual years of musical training or experience as I have. Grammy's are based on sales not talent, you probably like Diana Krall
Well said. This woman is a freak of nature - oozing with talent. I discovered her listening to jazz on pandora, never even knew what a lovely and interesting person she was til I started watching her vids and interviews on youtube. The fact that she happens to be beautiful, graceful, intelligent, with a quick wit and sense of humor is all gravy on top. I can't get enough of her music.
Exactly, only 16,895 views. I think to myself what a stupid world. This is the first time I have seen this fly woman. Unreal. She should have 40 million views. Just gives me chills. My dream is to play drums for someone like this.
Wow so good to see Jimmy Heath playing sax clear into his 80's! Danilo Perez is awesome. She surrounded herself with great musicians, but then she's great!
What i most like of theese kind of artist, so professionals and comitmented is the respect they show to the audience by recording the music with hight qualty and they take the necessary time to do it. Thanks Esperanza!
Has there any one on Earth who plays a most complex, difficult Basketball at the same time singing perfectly in a Professional Basketball Game before a fully awed/wowed world-paying audience in so complete rendition of action full of life, energy, frequency, & resonance perfectly balanced in a masterful play & makes the whole Team win the Basketball Game!? Anyone? None ... absolutely. Impossible. But then,.... WAIT ... Yes, there is ...! The most incredible Esperanza Spalding ....!
We are only here for this one opportunity, let's make it happen beyond the two festivities we have each year.. Make it happen everyday! What a wonderful world that would be.
Leo la.mayoría de comentarios en ingles ¿Es que acaso sólo es oída por ellos? Aquí desde Lima Perú...Esperanza destila armonía y ritmo y estilo excelente versión ¡ cantar y tocar el Contrabajo no es tarea fácil...y jazz ni que se diga sublime......
her music doesn't have to be original, its not always about setting the newest trend in music its just about playing for fun lol and enjoying making music for yourself and how you feel about your own sound. People are so quick to judge someone's sound you don't needs anyone's approval play for yourself.
The comments on this page are part of the main reason jazz is one of the most slowest progressing genres ever. People want to keep it in this 50s and 60s box. And because of that, just like Robert Glasper said, in 20 yrs these last few decades wont matter cause we're still pointing to that time. smh. Keep doing your thing Esperanza.
Classy lady, and I love her style of singing, love her hair, the way she dress and how she performs the late prince love her, I hope she can do something with the EW&F my favorite band. And Justin Bieber I am glad he didn't get the Grammy not next to her, it was a big thing about her the next day, people were not familiar with her, know everyone knows her.
I love the styling of this song, jazzy background, yet keeping much of the song intact with its melody, no excess styling and oohs and aahs, great job, fabulous! The drama on the face and body language so appropriate and sincere!
Have to agree, somewhat. She has much room to grow...but she is a youngster! Can't compare many artists. But, if you listen to, say, James Taylor and Cat Stevens singing same songs....you here the maturity and growth in both musicality and voice. I think she has the talent to grow, she definitely is one talented young woman.
Когда я слушаю Эсреранцу,я мыслями ухжу в пике,туда где можно отключиться и получить наслаждение как от голоса так и от владения инструментом.Спасибо.Игорь.
Matheus Lellis e Souza Adrianna Grande booty sex commercial music is what is selling nowadays, Jazz was mainstream music. Nowadays garbage sells more all for the love of money, the root of all evil. Let's be sincere & honest. Spalding beautiful as she is, is not stripping down to sell music. You don't have to bring down standards in order to sell or share your music. Please don't come with that baloney. As someone shared online, Yeah, as a teenager who grew up listening to the older music (especially from the 80s and 90s), to think that the generation before me had the honor to hear legends in their primes churning out actual quality music on an everyday basis is baffling. I mean, they got to hear ART on the radio, like it was nothing. Just from the 90s, 'Vision of Love', 'Candle in The Wind', 'I Will Always Love You'... I can name SO MANY, that were on the radio everyday, and are literal musical masterpieces. And I have the misfortune to say songs like 'Baby' and 'Stupid Hoe' and even 'Call Me Maybe' are what will represent my generation... It's just sad!
Matheus Lellis e Souza Robin Thicke provided a perfect example when he explained why his Blurred Lines album was a departure from his previous introspective works. He stated that he made this latest record without serious thought and made songs about having mindless fun. Obviously, Thicke understands how to play the game because he has been catapulted from a moderately successful R&B act to a global chart force, all by singing about his “big dick.”
Ginger Espanola right ,mainstream media and industry control the mindless masses of listeners who a re told what is good music for them to listen to instead of exposure to talent like this they want to control who and what's out there to be heard she one and a hand few of artists I listen to I love self expression from artists who's rawness shows no boundaries ,and not trying to fit into today's sexy take my clothes off twerk my ass for the masses to see ,epitome of class and grace I love her I'm a new fan of hers and other artists like Algebra basset she can be found on UTube as well ,also of Torino Kelly who hasn't souled out yet and hope she never dose ,singer like them and Jasmine Sullivan never get as big as some one like Beyoncé because they don't compromise there self for fame and riches they do it for the love of music real juice that touch and move people like you and I ,well I'll I step down off my soapbox now ,that all I wanted to get across .lol 👍🏽😊
Esperanza Spalding you inspire a lot throught your music,spirit and the fact that you have accomplished so many things at your age...we look up to you. Lot of love and please come to SOUTH AFRICA 😉
Man ! this woman is gifted and fortunate to have talent and looks , Don't be so meanminded ,just listen to the great sounds and enjoy them , ,if you capable of doing that of course , if we could be more open minded the world would be a Wonderful World !

Well said. I agree.
She's incredible. 1. Her pitch is nearly perfect, with amazing tone and sustain. 2. Her rhythm is perfect. 3. She plays the bass like a boss
Hahahahaha! Her pitch is atrocious.
Oh god her sustain hahahahaha! she can barely hold the notes.
