Esperanza Spalding - Body & Soul (Roots Picnic '08)

[DYNASTYBASSMASTA20]

@CrazyBlackGuy11 Yo, I hope you understand that 1. Esperanza is Beautiful and Talented. 2. All the people you named are successful, You are not. 3. You sound like a girl yourself. "I'll buy that bitch a perm"? Man up bro. Be respectful

[nattynativekid17]

[Pennypatoo1]

She sounds like diana Ross and billy holiday.

[mandika1960]

[SuperXavier30]

The Wakeup!!! call "Smooth" Jazz needed!

[AlfonsinaAlvarez]

We need to see when somebody is making history right before our faces.

She'll get real badass on her own music.

[TheLen1980]

E' un genio!!

[nonprimadidopo]

la donna dei miei sogni..

[dn4cer13]

How long has she been performing?!?! And WHY the hell is she not more popular?!?! I haven't heard anything this cool and refreshing since Coltrane.

[beamochagirl]

[sax3740]

[longtallsallie08]

no one cares what you'd do

[nancydrew5]

Esperenza totally remade that song in the same vein that Colman Hawkiins did. Her drummer is badazz with those elvin jones licks!

[nancydrew5]

Esperenza totally remade that tune in the same v

[koolieduke]

this is mezmorizing

[fingerboy18]

Singing and playing bass in odd time is unthinkable, wow. There are so many fine muscles being used while playing bass.  She did a wonderful job.

[sordidxaffair]

@fingerboy18 I think you need to change your underwear, there, guy ;)

[aquarianrican]

Everything sounds better in a romantic language ie spanish version

[fredrn1]

mmmmmmm pinics !

[LaMariposaSedosa]

It's really good in english, this is my 1st time hearing it in english. I think I still prefer the spanish version.

[jboog09]

her voice is similar to amel larrieux.

[Nikbug3]

its funny u say that, they're two of my fav artists

[renesannino]

...t'adoro!!!

[freeloader1985]

this arrangement is actually by victor gould, a young (and VERY GOOD) pianist who goes to berklee.

[Jeanpompey]

I cant wait for her to come to New Zealand, shes slowly but surely taking over the world!

Such an inspiring person for me, as I am a female drummer!(I still gotta put up a lil fight.)

We are getting married!!! By the way everyone, I mean. . . . . . . . . . . . . she doesnt know it yet, neither does my boyfriend, but yeh!

Hmmmm, summer wedding???

;-)

[nancydrew5]

I love her interpretation of one of my favorite songs. She's made it original and that's no easy feat as this is one of the most performed jazz standards out there. Amazing!!

[Jeanpompey]

I agree! Shes done an amazing job, without comprimising the tune. I love the rhodes.

Great recording too, haha, even with the "backing vocals" at the beginning.

[shasgurl]

[genrin1980]

Hermosa

[theocruz02]

She reminds me Julie Driscoll when singing at Brian Auger's Trinity.

Great musician, anyway. Superlative jazz.
