"She ain't nothin"? Then who is "somethin"? Change your medication, pal. Or better still, check some of her other stuff and say that again.

[powermad78]

Bravissima e bellissima...

[tizzubestar]

her hair is flyy

[maestrochild]

After lookin at all the comments about reading music on stage...i'd have to agree wit manns5175...if anything she's a better musician doin that especially since its her first time reading that and she's doin so much ...and it doesnt make her sound any different if she knew tha piece already

[manns5175]

Does matted Esaparanza Is A freaken Beast And she Sexy Reading music or not

[nancydrew5]

For those commenting on "reading music' on stage, I wonder how well you'd do at a Jam session at 24 years of age playing a piece for the first time and still able to groove, improvise, and be creative in the moment while reading music at the same time. If you base (no pun intended) her musicianship on the fact that she can read music on the fly and still groove, then you're the personwho don't know what a great musician is.

[jazzmanzack]

yo she isn't reading music....she is reading chord changes. Totally different.

[emosdieslow]

I have nothing against reading music. I myself am trying to improve my reading skills. It really turns me off to see it be done onstage though. Big nono for me

[Barvarianboy]

listen to those chord changes... or "music that she is reading", that stuff is not regular... very tricky changes... dont get it twisted

[emosdieslow]

Of course it is, but I personally don't like to see music beeing read onstage, unless it's in an orchestra. If she knew it by memory, it would have a more pleasing affect IMO.

[drifteromega]

yea i hear you, but the reality is most musicians dont get the music until the gig itself. reading or not, she's killin'

[emosdieslow]

no question.

[szumo1982]

it's just jitterbug waltz - not tricky.

any jazz musician at a college level should be able to play this song

[JazzFanMan19]

Who are you?!?!?! I guess YOU must be SOMETHING than right?.... PROBABLY NOT!

[d1theresa]

Very nice. Esperanza is truly gifted in musical diction and interpretation from every angle...
