Andrew Bird & Esperanza Spalding Live 2016

[@mynamismudd4883]

Man, that Apple Blossom song......what a beautiful sentiment.

[@cosignal]

It's a remarkable song. To me, because it is a completely contemporary piece that totally sounds like a classic/standard. Like you could easily convince me that it was written in the early 20th century.

[@beachdog67]

I am amazed that this has been sitting her on KZbin for over SIX YEARS and I've only this morning seen it for the first time. Ah, well. I'm here now. And I REALLY needed this today.

[@danibiss]

literally me. right now.

[@discerninglight1998]

@@danibiss @beachdog67 Same....was thinking the same thing exactly!

[@t.l1357]

This woman is a genius. I can't follow her thoughts but it would be such a great ride. Such a beautiful mind!

[@mawderation]

they are aging well! premonitions of a ever more connected world

[@teresebush4668]

This is so flippin fantastic. Late to the party but glad I came.

[@johnbarnas879]

A wonderful performance by Andrew, Esperanza and Lamp.

[@lilhogie]

I love lamp

[@MinniSota4]

Seriously how could you dislike this GEM? intelligent beautiful human beings making MAGIC and you don't like it?????? HOW?

"Now is a time to be apart of something bigger than yourself" - Esperanza Spalding

[@irissagar1080]

I find myself coming back to this time and time again. Their love, passion and dedication to their art is so inspiring. So much talent and beauty in this recording, it's amazing. What beautiful souls.

[@rickcoleman8277]

11:45 Apple Blossom, 22:19 Truth Lies Low

[@marquitakalitha7103]

I have been a longtime fan of Esperanza, which made me select this video years ago. It was such a delightful find. This version of the Truth lies Low crossed my mind today. Your violin at the end fills my spirit and to follow it up with the herbie hancock makes my heart soar every time while Esperanzas bass keeps me grounded, tethered. You two are ABSOLUTE magic together.

[@melonyebarrett9935]

The first piece is Journey in Satchidananda (Alice Coltrane).

[@OthersOrSomething]

Two amazing musical minds and personalities both of whom I'd love to see share the stage, play tunes, and chat about the craft.... ....WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS! YES! YES! SO GOOD

[@IMLovelydove23]

Excellent jam session. ★♡♥

[@kristiemao4275]

OMG this is the best thing ever! I love both of these phenomenal artists. Esperanza is so adorable and Andrew Bird...charming.

[@RichCopley]

Just saw Esperanza open for Andrew at Ravinia. So cool to find this!

[@Spinz99]

That's such beautiful music. Thank you.

[@danibiss]

omg what a combo we absolutely needed

[@sergiovasq]

This is a masterclass in juxtaposing rhythms, from a pair of very talented musicians. Very very cool.

[@rafaelveggi]

Raro momento de se sentir feliz e orgulhoso de ser brasileiro. Cheers Esperanza and Andrew

[@andrecoelho9973]

rafaelveggi com certeza! Dá muito orgulho do que é nosso!

[@TamaraBatty]

How have I not come across this before? Two of my favourites

[@JMG68JMG]

That first song is Alice Coltrane's "Journey in Satchidananda".

[@cwbresson]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oniYXnWHZZyEo8U

[@BrickCityBornandBred]

It reminded me of Journey in Satchidananda before I actually knew. The bass. Really good.

[@fivebyfivesound]

Esperanza Spalding is my hero. Great to see Andrew Bird in action as well. Giants.

[@lisacipriani6105]

I enjoyed that alot.

[@MrZipdang]

This is so cool!

[@andrecoelho9973]

Ohhh yea!!! Viva brasilian music! Viva Brazil! Viva Milton Nascimento!

[@vinaws]

12:15

[@alexgreen5064]

Such sweet playing. The combination of instruments and sound makes me think of land of spirit and light / Michael White

[@deeliciousplum]

Wonderful! And, a huge thank you for sharing links to the original pieces, too. 🎶🌸

[@emilywong4601]

They did a concert series in July 2017. Interesting duet!

[@Ahinaraful]

This is like two child prodigies having fun !! good combo! Enjoy like children playing

[@b3at2]

She 35 in 2019... she looks like 19.

[@marksoria6487]

The total sound I'm hearing is that of a smooth bag-pipe thing - it sounds so good.

[@reece1929]

Fantastic!

[@justwatermoving]

Direct inspiration from the deep well...This is a bass line from Alice Coltrane's Journey to Satchinanda...Pharoah Sanders playing is resplendent and haunting.

[@zeeeOgre]

Andrew is a monster player! Great duo!

[@BenBopALula]

So "chic" ! Perfect duo, great music. Andrew Bird's music is a medecine for the soul. Funny to see his usual bass player at the guitar ;)

[@maltepeal123]

What a pearl coming by!

[@jasminesings3]

YESSSS THIS IS EVERYTHING I WANT

[@cosettejustovaldes3821]

Magestuosa!!!!!!. A lo cubano, MOSTRAAAA!!!!

[@nesptahsoitis2607]

John and Alice is smiling and dancing to this!!!!

[@carbonc6065]

Wow!

[@Mo_B-xv2hv]

At 0:50 is the best rendition of Alices piece that I've ever heard thus far.

[@sassulusmagnus]

Fantastic combination of talents. Need to bring up the bass a bit in the mix.

[@ROBERTF177]

The first piece almost has a bagpipe like drone.I’ve heard Esperanza mention first hearing the bagpipes up close. 😲

[@rickbarker4121]

This is soooooo good!!!

[@fernandocaceres123]

my 2 favourite instruments! i do play violin and electric bass but i want to switch from electric to to upright bass.

[@АнастасияАрушанова-з4ш]

BRAVO!!!!BELISSIMO!

[@Ecfotografy]

Beautiful music, side note: like her look/outfit

[@c-b3715]

Gorgeous

[@adfadf5571]

So god damn cool. All of it.

[@Kousmichoff729]

Inspiring.

[@wonderweedo]

AMAZING !!

Que MARAVILHA!

[@keishaorr7070]

This! Them! No Way!

[@brotherbroseph1416]

Iv'e been waiting for this

[@brotherbroseph1416]

they need to bring in lisa hannigan

[@surfnsunshinekat]

Keisha Orr yeah!!

[@meerasmelodiess]

my thoughts exactly lol

[@SeanVplayer]

When she was just a Child she was playing violin in an symphony orchestra.

[@jeewoo7195]

So wholesome to see that the violin grew up alongsider her! Now theyre both so big 😭

[@carltonwhite9682]

Brilliant times ten!

[@9UaYXxB]

The dialogue between them is pretty brittle initially, not sure why, but it gets so rich.

[@Eee-le6rk]

Luv when the beat changes to a litte more urban and she starts to rock with it, wish that part could have been longer, but great collaboration! I could listen to them together all day .😊

[@marywilson6354]

👍🏽👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯nice job

[@bustabass9025]

Looks like she is using a Fishman FCL pickup. Any ideas on the make and model including price range of her bass? The sound is very full, mellow, and crystal clear. Would like to invest in a step up from my starter bass. Investigating options and this bass definitely caught my eyes and ears.

[@markding6131]

@22:18 Truth lies low

[@motobassplayer17]

I love the Alice Coltrane vibes

[@HMohr]

Esperanza is music physically arranged in human form

[@RobFlaxMusic]

Stuff Smith love? Check. I love both of them, so much.

[@TheThomas1981]

[@sabbath13]

[@luizaquental9524]

[@somenothing7914]

[@CogitoNM]

He's wearing my favorite slippers! Sorel Manawans ftw.

[@sorayadresler2586]

Gostei! LOVE

[@ThatCoolGingerKid]

Imagine walking into your house after a long day and just basking in this music

[@marquitajohnston4808]

That would be lovely!

[@leannbonton]

22:18 GIVES ME LIFE....

[@LeaSenMusic]

alan hampton!!!

[@schiavocampotube]

this is really great. does someone now which milton songs did esperanza worked on to do her apple blossom one?

[@mikelis135]

🔥

[@Peighter]

How does this have less than 10k views

[@discoteque7768]

The "k" (not "K") is an abbreviation of "thousand." So 10k means 10,000 people which is not bad for a video published in July.

[@BenBopALula]

How can 12 people not like that?

[@gouldbj]

not to be offensive but people are generally stupid. The best of art is never appreciated by the masses, except for rare cases.

[@karwashblark7499]

The production kinda sucks. Only possible explanation

[@hetmanjz]

+Peighter Novack 80,000+ as of 10/19/2017.

[@kennethcarr2449]

I'm here because of Esperanza Spalding

[@thomasgiannini]

bird is a bit pompous imo

[@cicreate5761]

Me too 😂

[@AlanLangdon]

Great video, but why is this on your channel?

[@vinaws]

12:15 🇧🇷❤️

[@MissShila]

[@somenothing7914]

[@zachariah-binyisrayl5570]

She is just a beautiful DRAGON....lawdhamercy.

[@hahabass]

Alan Hampton? Bad ass'd bass player.

[@georgenexa5882]

you two smoke smthin before performing? its not just the music thats smooth and mellow.

[@breh9243]

No

[@twallace541]

Is the mike stand in front of her face for the entire video?

[@JuanLama]

No shit, but I think that's Alderete's Bass. It's not clear who lend it

[@shnootch]

calling Alice...

[@alexwiz0]

what city are they playing in?

[@darlantro]

Alex Young - if they are at Andrew's place he lives outside of Chicago in the country

[@lenasmirnova5241]

He lives in LA now, it is his Great room.

[@peterwebb929]

herbie hancock's 'ostinato' towards the end

[@kabirsingh1428]

spaced out

2:40 !

[@aturmadabahianasecretariat5514]

[@jjallen2711]

beautiful and impressive her melodies remind me of Mingus's writing with a more contemporary approach of course

[@johajoha460]

I know they're amazing, that's why I'm here. Everything is lovely and the music is great. Now, let's move to some other important topics; why is no one talking about the weird shoes that Andrew is wearing? Ar those like some sort of UGGS?

[@jairomorini3941]

Eu não acredito em re-encarnação, mas se acreditasse diria que é a re-encarnação da Billie Holiday.
