Tim Festival Esperanza Spalding Body and Soul

[jackscruffy]

Wow! She is going to make a lot of people aware of the (real) bass. She makes me believe in angels. Good grief! That solo!

[cluke90]

5/4...absolutely brilliant!

[nachodaddy]

This is the first thing I've heard by her that I've disliked. Awful arrangement & just plain bad masturbatory playing(by all) showing disrespect for the song. She even half-screams rather than sings, just awful. Reminds me of alot of other awful, allegedly jazz LP's from the late '60's & '70's.

[TMundo]

look at them fingers and wrists move, that's talent!

[barnabeluc]

Holy Crap! She's awesome!!!

[aletha00oo]

I am in love with Leo Genovese's piano playing!! Tickle them ivories baby!! Ah!

[KKoje]

Innocence, wisdom, joyous expression, acoustic bass, sultry lips, wild hair. Emotion, dispassion, abandon in her play of the instrument. This girl is just devastating. Sexy as hell. She credits her Mom with providing a most loving environment, sometimes even in the midst of hell, for who she is. Let nobody tell you that love can't protect your children through the fires of hell and produce something, somebody this lovely.

GOD MADE AN ANGEL...............THAT PLAYS BASS

[SONDAMANAGEMENT]

meravigliosaaaa

[nastyneal]

I prefer her to sing in portuguese..

[TMundo]

@nastyneal everythings better in portuguese, but this will do.

[contigo121]

this is just so awesome!

does anyone know who's playing the piano?



[MonroviaLIB]

@contigo121 the piano player: Leo Genovese (he is awesome....fantastic...great! )

[contigo121]

@MonroviaLIB Thanks!

[Bridge3]

Body and Soul. I feel ya.

[qwertman45]

she is concentrated aweswome, one of those special people music explodes out of because they just cant contain it

[MonroviaLIB]

@qwertman45 'concentrated awesome'...my new favorite saying...thanks.

[ckulzer]

Impresionante!

[Adrynha]

Olha que coisa mais linda, mais cheia de graça...

[blairfire]

OMG!!!! speechless

[bystroffc]

She is a true phenom. But give some credit to the band. Check out the piano solo on this cut, followed by Esperanza cutting up the bass! And then the self-duet!!

[xircle]

@bystroffc ... she has always been amazing at what she does. one of my favorite performers to date but you are dead on, dude on the piano killed it!

[gotrottin]

You could tell she was really feelin it that night. At her peak and phenomenal. Bravo!

[KidSon704]

I love her! Im like a groupie to her. Her voice style.. Beyond Talent.. Mmm mmm. Amazing.

[chrischris091]

quality performer

[doliveira86]

Muito bom, mas prefiro em espanhol.

Very good, but i prefer in spanish.

[mumiasassassinas]

Fantástica. Há muito tempo não via nada tão novo e interessante. Grande talento musical.

[lwmson]

Talk about a total package! And I thought Alicia Keys had it all. This young lady is going to make Jazz music commercial with her extraordinary talent and beauty. If I were a young man again, I'd be at all of her concerts as a male groupie!

[toferburl]

@lwmson You don't have to be young to be a groupie!

[27boof]

Eat you're heart out, George Benson! :)

[dbastard1977]

@27boof Hey, give George his due respect man. ES is great but GB is just wonderful....

[joanareaispinto]

alguém me sabe dizer o nome do pianista?? incrivel!

[onualbi]

ela è realmente demais!

[Alejus28]

woh, first singer who plays the contrebass... waw...

really likes me!

thanks!

[MsFabah]

I like the way they play this song. I love "Body and soul"!

[dukes150]

the pianist is kicking butt!go head

[neo557]

Cade O Chico Pinheiro pô!!!!!!!!!!! Volta ai companheiro!!!! voce e ela são Fantasticos juntos!!!!

Moises Mendes.

[nancydrew5]

Man it's in 5/4 but they are taking it way up way fast, but it works.

[jansmark]

She definitely is Body & Soul in the Grooves. Impressive!

[Lu427]

Toca com a alma!
