Esperanza Spalding - I Know You Know (Live In Detroit)

[sabbathcore]

i first heard this song in 2009 on the radio and i thought that the girl singin sounded beautiful but what i really wanted to know was who tha hell was just wearin the bass out. i thought it must have been some guy that was a 45 year old jazz master that i simply didnt know about probavly kicked it with george duke or somethin like that. then i found out it was this cute early 20 somethin year old girl doin the damn thang. i was shocked and amazed

[thedoor12]

I saw her live in Kalamazoo this year... one of the best concerts I've ever been to. She is amazing.

[aquarianrican]

her rhythm is off the charts, & her head nod is futuristic

[corderorolando32]

more and more I become in love not only with her playing and singing,but with her fro!! haha she is SO beautiful!!

[cannonballrunwinner]

Profound. I've never heard anybody sing like her. I've never heard anyone sing live this good. I've never heard anyone sing and play so well at the same time. Jealous? I would be but her music makes me feel too good to be anything but happy! Who cares that she's gorgeous!! My gf and myself saw her live in Lansing this past summer and before the show canceled from lightning you could hear the distant growl of the thunderstorm as her bass lines weaved in and out and her voice cascading over top.

[pnice217]

She's fine as hell and she dope some dope music.

[marciliz]

Hey Argee11, Nice Post! Did you capture this video? If so, nice job! Hey, I'm from Detroit as well, do you know if she is coming to the Jazz Festival again this year? If so, I would love to see her perform live. Alright, thanks again for the post! God Bless You!

[Argee11]

Yes, I captured this using a Sony HDR-HC7. The transfer from my camcorder to YouTube was crappy, but watchable. Also, I was standing like 100 ft from the stage, so I used a lot of zooming. But as far as I could see, she is very stunning in person.

I'm not sure when she's coming back to the D, but I'll post something on here if she does.

[Voiceofthefuture2010]

@marciliz i heard and seen her at the Jazz Festival in Chicago this year!

In fact me and the Gwendolyn Brooks jazz band played in the young lions stage this year 2010!!! she is excellent and i idolize her this is why i just started playing bass along with piano it was a great experience !!!! Our band has been blessed with allot of opportunities this . She is the most amazing bassist ever!!!!

Oh, PLEASE tell me you shot her singing what she called the "motor city shuffle," when she put her bass down and sang some crazy awesome vocals. Remember?
