I love t his rendition of Body and soul. Not since Colman Hawkins has another artist re-invented this classic standard IMO. She takes it in 5/4 then sings it in the original key. She surrounds herself with awesome musicians, Lyndon Rochelle' on drums was definitely a plus on this recording he's so bad! Elvin Jones come back to life! Way to Go Esperenza! You definitely have my heart! A beautiful spirit, a great talent, a true musician. I'm glad you are getting the exposure you deserve.
@ezerarias WTF is that sorry excuse for a kid is mentioned in every music video? I don't wanna hear his name and I bet a lot listeners here don't either...so please, for the sake of good music please don't mention his name again, we come here to get away from all the terrible music we're exposed on a daily basis.
I´m 16 and I have been listening to this album everyday for 3 months and I always love it!!.....She is a great musician, and her voice is amazing!.... I would like to know her personally... Greetings from Ecuador .. we are waiting for her!!!
This is such an awesome recording. Found it after someone suggested at a rehearsal that we play Body and Soul in 5. Man, I need to work on playing odd time signatures
I listen this song yesterday (Nov 24th 2009) at the radio TSF JAZZ in Paris for the first time. Great idea to make it in Spanish! I missed your concert yesterday at the New Morning but I will look for your next dates and I will come to see you and hear your voice and your band. Congratulations!
EXTRAORDINÀRIO. voz - poema - melodia - uma mescla de géneros em que se detaca o Jazz e onde o sentimento é imenso.

Can you imagine Diana Krall at the piano and Esperanza Spalding on bass? What a blast that would be!

Ms. Spalding is without question tapped into some cosmic source of musical inspiration and brilliance, most of us can only dream of. I'm not worthy!

Awesome! But "Esperanza" is not her debut album, she already did "Junjo" two years before - also great!
