This is how it's done!!!! All you misled girls in pop music even you ego filled women in church who think your doing praise and worship!.... PURITY OF A SWEET HEARTS EXPRESSION is in motion here...I'm not saying that all women who sing have to pick up a bass etc... and that you have to look like Esperanza. look at the inner essence, Wow! She's not to be worshiped but God has put her on Earth to inspire. I pray that in this evil world, nothing will hinder Gods intention of this great talent. Amen
@andziazet I don't think there is any lyric. :) She's scatting, basically just improvising with melodies and rhythms. Ella Fitzgerald used to do a lot of that. :)
since i saw her performance on youtube, i fallin in love at first sight! i really love her voice and her talent! i adore her so much! and her playin on contra bass!
My Gosh, this girl is the real deal musical genius ...wow, to scat in that vocal range is incredible then change it up into a melodic almost background vocal on top of a pop jazz vocal like "I know you know".........compose the music, play the music sing the music....has the world been manufactured pop kool-aid that long. You are looking at musical virtuoso.....i happy to be around to see a jazz mozart being unleashed on the music world........Wow!
@Tippy2forU She doesn't have a spectacular voice, but I think she holds her own. I have her self titled CD and I love it. At least she's a real musician unlike some of these other ladies out here who can't sing, dance, write music, or play instruments.
@mom2dave.. I love her. No she dosen't have a powerhouse voice, but it's fits her style of music perfect. She is real talent. But she can sing compared to Rhianna who has a average voice, but she sells millions of music. Janet Jackson is the same. They are good performers, but take away the music and listen to them. If you look at music shows now, they never have real artists who can really blow or play the hell out of a instrument. Everything is either lip-synched or a track is going
Incredible talent...natural beauty (love her hair). We need more artists like Esperanza and less of these ghettofied hoochie's like Nicki Minaj, Li' Kim, et al.
@Tippy2forU brother i think you are either frustrated or you are just jelous! that sucks just put your ass to study or change your profession dont hate on good musicians!
@jazzmelodicminor77:Do not curse at me. I am better than that and you should be as well. I am entitled to my opinion free of personal attacks. I commented on her ability to sing. If I don’t care for the singing, I do not download the CD. I do not entertain a lack of talent to violate my precious ear space. I commend her talent for playing musical instruments and knowing other languages but singing is not her talent. Respect my opinions and I will respect your opinion.
@Tippy2forU Its called improvisation. Esperanza is singin and scatin off the melody, much like Abbey Lincoln or Carmen Mc Crae. But its ok if you can't dig what she's doing, the world goes on. Check out Beyonce, sounds more your style. Btw, Lady day would have loved esperanza.
@Tippy2forU Hello person... How can you say respect your opinion and say that this woman cannot sing? Can you respect her talent, and keep your opinion to yourself? If not... then take the criticism you give! Have a blessed day! ;-)
Can we please see the uploads of your jazz music videos? Your Berkley instructor credentials, vocal training, and years of improvisational upright bass playing?
Billie Holliday? Really? Can we please let go of the past and make room for the 21st century jazz artists and young prodigies such as Esperenza Spalding?
@Tippy2forU Actually, she is not out of tune. She merely changes keys frequently, just like John Coltrane did in his music. :) I don't know if you studied music - apologies if you did - but changing keys as often as she does is one of the hardest things to do in music. :) Although jazz is extremely hard to define - some people say Kenny G plays jazz!!!! - I personally wouldn't call Rachelle Ferrell jazz. She's bordering on pop. And so does Oletha Adams. Coltrane, Parker, Mingus = real jazz.
I have a new artist to add to the stable! Didn't know about her until the Grammy's so I commend them for that. However they will never be forgiven for not nominating Distant Relatives in ANY category.
The intensity in her scats at the end represents a person feeling completely and frantically in love with another...like an undying explosion of someone pouring their heart out in adoration. The drums represent the response of the other: alike in the intensity; undying and frantic. Pure genius. Pure.
Wow you can tell it was a total experience. It's like she becomes the music, her whole body, face and voice dances to it :). It was truly enlightening to behold<3 I did not know songs had to have coherent words ... 0.o, It's like as electrifying as a mosh pit, while simultaneously being as clean as a spring of bubbling water
i love her !!!!!!!! she is talented,...... knows how to share her gift .she kinda remind me of nneka and sade i wish they can do one song together !!!!!! congrats you really deserve the award 1111
she sounds vocally like Floria Plurim with her Brazilain -like vocal albility and she can play that double bass the toal package. I dont criticize Justin Bieber becasue he's a harmless Disney Pop star and people like Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and Gucci Mane are more damaging because they are nothing but "racial coons" and a disgrace to serious black musicians everywhere unlike Ms. Spaulding, hopeflly her along with bands & acts from Afro- Punk and the Black Rock Coalition can save us the dreck.
I like Webbie also, but i've found there should also be a balance. I saw her first on David Letterman in 2008. Listening to her is like riding a bicycle on a cool spring morning! Aaaaah! Gotta love it!! PS She also sang at Nobel Peace Prize ceremony for Pres. Obama in Norway.
It's a Reaffirming Light to ALL REAL Artists that The Grammy's rewards REAL TALENT!!! Congratulations To Esperanza Spaulding ... The Best New Artist !!! FABULOUS, Beautiful and Talented !!!
Music appreciation...give it a chance. I like Webbie also, but i've found there should also be a balance. I've been listening to her since 2008. I saw her first on David Letterman. Listening to her is like riding a bicycle on a cool spring morning! Aaaaah! Gotta love it!! PS She also sang at Nobel Peace Prize ceremony for Pres. Obama in Norway. She is a "Bad Chick" in more ways than one.
It's great to know that there are still real musicians out there, and that corporate made pop stars can still be beaten out for a grammy...Esperanza Spalding I salute you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@CorBinKaY76 well sorry to tell ya buddy...but the grammys are CORPORATE!! and have sold out! they care more about what brings in viewers and esperanza does NOT!!! its pretty sad actually...i think they gave her a grammy cause they felt sorry for her
@CorBinKaY76 pull your head out of your ass u homo! im sure everyone tuned into the grammys to watch esperanza! its not about music..... it about what sells!.....end of story wheather u like it or not!
@CorBinKaY76 I wonder why real talent are always less known If they are real talent and her music is so lovely why almost all the world dosn't know her yet?? She's been doing her song for more than 3 years....
WHAT ELSE CAN I ASK FOR IN A MUSICIAN good music nice rhythm good life and talent.am just tired of crap songs all over now.thank you Esperanza Spalding you are one of a kind
This is amazing. I love music like this. Now this is the type of music that needs to be promoted!!! She's wonderful & I'm digging the 'fro too.... I can't wait till mine's gets this big!!!
THIS HOE DIDNT DESERVE NO GRAMMY NOMINATION. SHE CANT SING. SHE CANT EVEN SELL A RECORD. BEYONCE,ASHANTI,MARY J. BLIGE,KERI HILSON. THATS TALENT AND BEAUTY. SHE NEED TO STRAIGHT OUT HER HAIR. IT LOOKS A MESS. IM SORRY YO BROKE ASS CANT AFFORD A PERM? BITCH I WILL BUY U ONE. YOUR MUSIC SUCKS. DO ME A FAVOR AND DO SOMETHING ELSE. U HAVE NO LIFE AND U HAVE NO TALENT. YOUR MAKING MY EARS HURT WITH ALL THIS NONSENSE. YOU GIVING ME HEADACHES !!. BITCH JUST STOP SINGING! PLUS U FUCKED UP PRINCE SONGS!

@Lotusblossom2 She sooooo amazing!!! You hope music can be more like this?....the meaning of the name Esperanza means 'Hope'. She brings hope to the future of music, that's for sure! :)
lol that white guitarist shouldnt have attempted to scat.lol bless his heart. but i give him props for even playing with such an amazing singer and bassist. great performance!
What is this mess, what are you people listening to...My sister told me today that I sound just like her... I will just say that I am not getting a record deal anytime soon.
@eowolo Generally speaking, if you're ignorant of style/form/dynamic/tenor and the LANGUAGE OF JAZZ...it's best to just sit silently and bobble your head and Pretend that you comprehend..until you can be mentored or educated to the point where you can appreciate, enjoy and experience la musique...long way from pre-school to PhD
@eowolo Jazz is not for everyone especially those who think Beyonce is "where it's at". If you don't understand this type of music just say so. This lady is also a music professor at one of the best Universities in the USA so she knows what she's doing, and some of us appreciate it.
This is terrific. But she surpasses this with such joy and fantastic performance on the 'Midnight Show ' with Letterman. ' Precious' It's a truly wonderful piece of vid. ( as is 'At The White House' 'Overjoyed ' Catch them both. They are just superb cameo's of her natural joyful musicianship
hahaha, it´s true, i didn´t realised it the first time I saw it, and not just the first cause i´ve seen it so many times, but there´s something getting out of her hair!!!. How did you see it? how many times have you seen it?
@JHasAGun Thank you! I'm glad that my silly comment made you laugh. I must say that I have a LOT to thank Esperanza for. After watching her, something just clicked & I experienced a growth spurt in my own Bass playing. Thank you Espaeranza!!! After studying with Ron Carter many years ago, I then got to watch many of your vids & see so many other possibilities, both musically & instrumentally. I am now a completely different bass player now, thx to you! - U gave me the greatest gift of all :)
I saw her open for Steve Wonder in LA. I never heard of her but once she began playing I was hooked. This music is full of emotion, complexity yet free. Fantastic musicianship.
Probably her best performance so far is at the White House, singing and playing a Stevie Wonder tune. Check it out! She is a great, great all-around musician, and she sparks beautifully with her persona.
This Brazilian girl has blood, impressive, she is polishing, but tabém the musician's guitar is Brazilian!

@eowolo Generally speaking, if you're ignorant of style/form/dynamic/tenor and the LANGUAGE OF JAZZ...it's best to just sit silently and bobble your head and Pretend that you comprehend..until you can be mentored or educated to the point where you can appreciate, enjoy and experience la musique...long way from pre-school to PhD

@eowolo Jazz is not for everyone especially those who think Beyonce is "where it's at". If you don't understand this type of music just say so. This lady is also a music professor at one of the best Universities in the USA so she knows what she's doing, and some of us appreciate it.

This is terrific. But she surpasses this with such joy and fantastic performance on the 'Midnight Show ' with Letterman. ' Precious' It's a truly wonderful piece of vid. ( as is 'At The White House' 'Overjoyed ' Catch them both. They are just superb cameo's of her natural joyful musicianship

@JHasAGun Thank you! I'm glad that my silly comment made you laugh. I must say that I have a LOT to thank Esperanza for. After watching her, something just clicked & I experienced a growth spurt in my own Bass playing. Thank you Espaeranza!!! After studying with Ron Carter many years ago, I then got to watch many of your vids & see so many other possibilities, both musically & instrumentally. I am now a completely different bass player now, thx to you! - U gave me the greatest gift of all :)

I saw her open for Steve Wonder in LA. I never heard of her but once she began playing I was hooked. This music is full of emotion, complexity yet free. Fantastic musicianship.

Probably her best performance so far is at the White House, singing and playing a Stevie Wonder tune. Check it out! She is a great, great all-around musician, and she sparks beautifully with her persona.
