Esperanza Spalding - Roots Picnic Interview

[iRanNakedWithBarney]

@filthyfunke trust me, i think she won't.

[NerdyLunitic360]

"Beautiful I just wanna let you know your my special girl....."

[ELYANish]

Sparkling and very beautiful voice

[Bassplaya919]

her explanation from 1:45 to 2:00 is exactly what seems to be lost with musicians today. Need to spend more time playing and less classroom!

[herbpittman]

Roots! please she needs to record with Herbie Hancock!, George duke , Idea section her with Bobby Lyle Paul Jackson Al dimiola, or some bad ass Cuban Cats like Gustavo Ramirez,sheila Escovedo etc. she is the real Business and still Green as an Avocado!!,,....imagine her in 10 years or so! MONSTER.

[27kwanchi]

she needs to go out on a date with me..

[GeniusIgnorance]

The Rootns and her should do an album.

[brainsareus]

does esperanza suck at anything ? she seems to be able to do it all. i can listen to her talk and play all day.

[Pirate7X]

@brainsareus Yeah, her energy when she speaks and plays is infectious.

[phester061594452]

I want to live in her afro...it's so pure...GOD made such a beautiful person there...

[alaloka]

Hello world!

To make it clear: Since I knew this wonder O:-)woman (last week), I just had a crush on her; thus, she is MY GIRL from then until the end. So, don’t say anything that could make me jealous (or angry `_´either `_´). On the other hand, she doesn’t need love from anyone other than ME:-p! I hope y’all understand that. Thanx. Other advice is: Don’t thumb me down, just understand that. D).

ESPERANZA: mi Amorcito_mi Dulcito,my Luv, meu Amor, Amore mio,meine Schatz, , moja Kochana...;)*

[4NrAGS]

I love her voice. it's got that latin accent. dayum . . this is super ignorant, but I wonder if there is any flaw on that wombman.

[sensomatico]

beautiful baby

[TheFlutevisions]

The Natural look of a woman's hair. Now isn't that beautiful.

[skimes11]

Hey everyone just letting you know that you can pre-order Esperanza Spalding's new album Chamber Music Society from iTunes for $9.99!

[windangelmoonkid]

I. LOVE. HER. AFRO.

[ldpoetess]

@windangelmoonkid It IS such a powerfully beautiful statement :) Im not even gonna mention her music *sighs*

[seanpierpont]

I love anything she does. Just talking says to me , I want her.

[EngagedFitness]

I love it whenever she's interviewed. She's such a force of inspiration!

[paris19th]

A very hip young lady with enormous talent. Saw her play with Joe Lavano last year and she was hitting big time. I just hope she can integrate more jazz rooted elements into her own project. She's a hit! And fine too!

[soulreflect]

Beautiful Artist....If you don't have her album....My strongest, most positive suggestion for all you soul heads out there (and those who appreciate REAL MUSIC) is to purchase her album......I can say I WAS NOT CLOSE TO DISAPPOINTED, her album kept elevating from beginning to end...This girl is the real deal!!!!!

[courageux28]

Haven't seen an artist express so much passion and freedom in a long while. Esperanza is a breath of fresh air.

[JustusFriedolin]

i so want to have a bass lesson with her

[seanpierpont]

@JustusFriedolin

you crazy man

[Appplecidder]

I love her hair

[BushDoctor02]

I love this woman!! Ponte De Areia!!! Best song EVER!!! LOL

[jmlpaulin]

i don't understand a word of it but it's still amazing.

[pipi333]

Ponta... =-)

btw: Milton Nascimento

[Floraiton]

OMG the hair!!!!

[amiran86]

OMG she is a shame comparing to other American jazz singers..

[OpenEyesProdTv]

God this sister moves me...she is a talent and yummie to look at...

[wwwAndreabnet]

Imagine what she will be doing at 33!!

[classicdinner]

TOO FINE

[BillNighthescienceg]

WOW, she's dope in so many ways.

[blueice61023]

shes so sexy

[jaticem]

True...if Questlove asked me to tap dance...I'd have to pull out my shoes. The caveat here is that I don't tap and never have!

[qoolquest]

tapdance for me please.

[Laboheme5]

lol! :D

[vinnienickoloff90]

@jaticem HAHA that is great. It is amazing how much Questlove influences the music community in the world.

[sugahip]

[Bentland]

Meu Deus, que entrevistadora!! A Esperanza já é paixão antiga, sou louco por ela, mas que elinda essa Angela Henry...

[FrogMan1713]

I like real music like this not overly promoted artists with no real talent. The video industry killed the real music artist to me. Although I love really creative and over sexed videos.

[mikayd]

Yo I like this lady here. I'm going to have to pick this one up. Very nice and she is fine I used to play the bass. Maybe I can get the number and see what's up.
