Esperanza Spalding - Making of (legendado)

[@chiasma72]

She's got a cadence even in the way she speaks. It's fascinating and mesmerizing to listen to her talk. Even as young as she is, Esperanza's got a poise, and charm, and definite wit about her that's well beyond her years. Awesome artist.

[@soccerman2061]

Honored I had the opportunity to see her perform live at Ohio State tonight! In just 90 minutes she spoke about counter-points, active listening, call and response, creative improvisation of the bass and how all of those things can be applied to conversation and every-day life. Such an influencer, incredibly well-spoken.

[@EasternElder]

I really enjoyed this. I'm so glad that you won that Grammy because you are fresh and brilliant! . Congratulations, Esperenza! From a Portland musician....

[@aparecidamariasilva814]

Cantora de voz maravilhosa e grande instrumentista.

Excelente compositora também - diga-se de passagem!

[@jdgonzo1982]

just discovered this lady and my god...what a beautiful soul...i'm in awe...why aren't more people like this?!?!? x

[@vincentm614]

She talks like a shy high school girl but her musical talent is highly sophisticated. She is also one of the most beautiful woman ever! Lots dont realize how hard it is to sing and play bass at the same time.

[@thefivefingerpgraph]

Tracey, Thanks for reaching out and touching me with Esperanza's talent. Incredible! I pale beside her!

[@dieudonneMC]

this is how I got into bass! Our bassist graduated, so I put down the violin and picked the bass up! I regret not sticking with it!

[@ethereal1257]

I just heard her for the first time today and was immediately captured by her and her talent. So I started looking up everything about her and listening to more of her music and her voice is so intriguing and jazzy romantic how can you not fall in love with her music?

[@rajecks]

True Musician!!!....No ass shaking or gimmick...just pure talent!

[@AMGmagazine]

Awesome! As an artist I welcome to opportunity to experience such a dynamic and wonderful point of view. Thank you for sharing the gift of you.

[@montalvomachado]

It took me only 2 seconds listening to her on the radio, singing "Ponta de Areia", to go crazy. And that melody line on the piano, my God, that's hypnotical. I'm brazilian, and heard that song thousands of times, by many artists, but I was never touched like that by any of them, even from Milton Nascimento, the composer himself. I never wanted the song to end, but at the same time I wanted to know who was singing, so I could look her up, and get to know more about that unbelievable voice.

[@enmaxus]

Thank you! Im on my way to the music store. This is real soul music and she is so pretty with a lovely personality. Im hella hooked.

[@americanbrother1]

AMAZING STORY! I love this woman..Thanks for posting!

[@BassSpotter]

WOW...Great documentary/interview...great job!!!

[@encuentrosmusicales8873]

La amo, que gran artista y que gran guerrera ha Sido.😘

[@pavarglez]

ay Dios mio! Qué mujer tan talentosa. Y no sólo eso; hermosa tambien.. Si ella viene a cantar al valle de Coachella no lo pensaría dos veces y sería el primero en comprar mi boleto de entrada.

[@virgilacevedo]

I am so happy that she is performing in my era. She is so talented.

[@Dormant_Yogi]

She's brilliant in every single way a human being can be, wow Esperanza, wow!!!

[@schecter5strg]

This gurl is great! I love the musically focus attitude..........

[@sterlingg23]

This was a great interview.

[@SequenceII]

man i cant wait till im finish writing my book i feel the same way you are amaizing SPALDING . I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT YOU FROM THE BET AWARDS . TRULY YOU PUT IT DOWN AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOUR VOICE AND BASS.

[@ailimejo]

She is really incredible

[@Mauerderwelt17]

@FirstDonut I've been looking for this song, too! It's called "Really Very Small" and it's gonna be on her new album!

[@jenomilasADEN]

She sounds soooooo down to earth, man! I thought by just hearing her songs she was a person that would be the type that acts and lives in a very rich lifestyle, but, she is sooo freakin' down to earth. She sounds so cool! A type that you can "kick it" with. Man....

[@Chromatype]

I just found out about this girl today. She has a true natural gift. Wonderful gifts inside and out

[@Skyjuice70]

Its amazing she never really talks about her singing..just playing bass. Its almost as she just down plays her wonderful voice.

[@truthworks7846]

She is soooo sweet. I have a daughter who looks like her and she is only ten (hair included). She has only gone and chose a trombone at school. I said to her..why didn't you choose a flute or trumpet like your sister.. something smaller. She smiled 😂. She has a heart to play the guitar too. It's difficult to find good teachers for young brown kids. My other daughter wants to be a drummer. They currently go along with me when I sing at church weekly practice. Three of them can sing. Just praying for them. This world is full of bad influence on our children. This musician is just the real deal. Great role model for young girls. Praying all stay well with her.

[@ElliottBradenS]

It makes total sense, she is a revelation and whats so great is that it resonates in you. Assume familiarity as i have you, w/the connection and oneness of life,light,love

[@sandroove]

voce e incrivelmente talentosa...parabens

[@montalvomachado]

(continuing...) Much to my surprise, she's also an incredible bass player, and her talent completely blew my mind. Pat Metheny, Patty Austin... they can't be wrong, she's a virtuose at birth. In 2 seconds, she captured my heart, musically speaking. Wow, my ears are in love.

[@taweisha]

great girl , wonderful personality wish you all the best for the future and plenty of success

[@michaelledford4751]

Esperanza isn't in the top 10 bassists alive but her personality ,voice ,stage presence and sex appeal puts her in the 10 most beautiful woman in the world ,that big beautiful natural afro makes her even sexier and In top 5 beautiful woman ,take all her attributes and she's on the same level as Stanley Clark because music is about the feeling not precision technical ability ,and very few bassists make people as happy as Esperanza ,she's a truly elegant woman .

[@ninlevs]

you are great esperanza...........lova ur groove and wat u play i wat i call real groove.

[@uuunderground]

Wow. Neat person. So natural.

[@SuperGamer87]

I think I'm in love with Esperanza Spalding. For so many reasons. Her life's story is so similar to mine. She's a warm personality. Not to mention she's incredibly talented and just beautiful. She loves Bossa Nova and jazz fusion, and I grew up loving the stuff. She even grew up with Yo-Yo Ma as a major influence, as did I. Now I HAVE to get famous as a musician, just to meet her and date her before some other guy does! My instruments of choice are guitar and electric bass.

[@laugonzalez]

she completely rocks!

[@charliearavena3030]

Real master musician!!!!!!!

[@SuperXavier30]

LOVE!!!.. this Woman's Spirit!!!

[@Mari-Ama7]

[@alghow]

Captivating!

[@bo24.u.98]

My thing is architecture and I'm 62 and this lady is teaching me

[@Mauerderwelt17]

does anyone know what the song playing in the beginning is?

[@Vitaluv]

Sidney is the man, his daughter Syndey Tamiia is the one whom I was speaking of. I just assumed people knew that. She's an actress and has been on a lot of great shows.

[@AmAtronliean]

I'm in love with her.

[@marciiolisboa3258]

me too

[@mjsjazz]

She is a messenger!!!!

[@RochelleHansonMusic]

AMAZING!

[@oleskool61]

My 15 year old daughter likes Justin Bieber (Poster in her room and all) we are black, she does not quite know what real talent is at this stage of her life. I did not know who she/Esperanza was either until after a little research, But this Old dog does recognize talent and this young lady here has talent. Congratulation on your award last night and continued success in the future.

[@ayodeleliasu9469]

Please what's that song @2:37 ?

[@Elizabeth.melton]

What song is playing at the 9:33 point?

[@ludious73]

@Thandiwandi Found her comment and replied. I'm really not the bad guy here (not sure if there is one here?). We probably agree on a whole lot more than you think, but I could be wrong.

[@bahiyyah19]

I am proud to say that I have never to my knowledge listened to a song by Justin bieber. I only ever hear about him on youtube so I don't know why he's so famous if i never heard a song from him

[@dieudonneMC]

@SuperXavier30 Amen, what a breath of fresh air!

[@mxblade]

I am with u all the way. Good jazz is welcome. And all for the composition anyways

[@Abeluzzo]

Esta pequeña es una veta musical. No es descabellado decir que es la nueva Ella Fritzgerald. Es encantadora toda ella.

[@plato651]

I love this renaissance woman.

[@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!

[@RodrickColbert]

I can't believe I didn't discover Esperanza until the BET Awards two days ago!

[@gregoryswift7804]

What a precious gifted cutie👩🏻‍🦱🥰

[@gfanarakos]

she is a genius ...

[@FirstDonut]

what's the name of the song @00:12 ?

[@das499]

Does anyone here know the tune that's playing at 3:40?

[@variousspaces4663]

A very satisfying peace of American pie...

[@Thandiwandi]

@joysworld53 couldn't agree more!...you should write this as a "reply" to him so that he can see it is directed towards him (hit the reply and put copy and paste) thank you!!

[@marcycass5050]

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can anyone tell me what it's the name of the firts song?

[@Juliana.g.a_]

+marcy cass The song is "Really very small" from the Esperanza's album chamber music society

[@marcycass5050]

Muchas gracias Juliana (Y) !

[@Ms2real4ya]

Smh 💎👑🦉

[@ludious73]

@joysworld53 Agreed in part, however one most certainly does "catch" them, as it is always a kind of pursuit (if she learns to "choose well" that is, instead of taking every joe smoe that winks at her). After the man has proven himself worth her time and consideration, then her heart, he should continue to show her why she made a good choice. in the same way, she should continue to show him why he did the same. Love is certainly a two way street where pride has no room. It's a team sport.

[@zglober]

she is the chosen one.

[@ludious73]

@Thandiwandi Ffrom my perspective, when one marries, you both are no longer two, but one, and you give yourself to the other person. It's a done deal, equal gift. "I am yours, you are mine" is a thing of true love.I do see how you could take my words wrong, however, I will warn you to choose your battles carefully. In the fight for equal respect for women, women can become brash, argumentative, and "naggy" as men would call it. Those type of people lose respect and gain contempt, male or female.

[@MixedBreedE]

@laylowsnuky man same thing just happend to me, why cant i find me a woman like this

[@JedTaneo]

THIS IS MY DREAM GIRL!

[@ailimejo]

@SuperBlackChic Hmm... thanks! :)

[@hottestgymnastever]

soooooooo y is she so beautiful lol i lyk her personality alot :)

[@martinpaddle]

What Pat Metheny referred to as X factor is personality. The difference between just being very good and being very good and also successful.

[@gabhelp8697]

GREAT PIECE

[@Thandiwandi]

@ludious73 hey thanks so much for taking my comment into consideration I really appreciate it! I think what joysworld53 had to say pretty much sums up my argument. I do not think you are the bad guy...the way were are socialized to think about language, and also the way language is constructed...and further more the way you use langauage can imply power and/or subjugation. I don't think it's anyone's fault though! I just wanted to let you know as a woman, that's how i percieve it.

[@bahiyyah19]

shes learned from the elders which makes her advanced

[@hewgoba]

I think she has 2 seperate brains...Genius
