Esperanza Spalding, Robert Glasper, Terri Lyne Carrington: "Afro Blue" | Jazz Day Istanbul

[@brianhoward656]

I'd like to see Robert Glasper, Bob James, Kandance Springs, Esperanza Spalding, Gregory Porter And Will Downing, Terri-Lynn Carrington & Bobbi Humphries in one JAM SESSION.

[@vicrollerson]

No doubt 💯🔥👍🏿

[@OneManBand1]

YEEEEEEZUS!!!!!! You trying to give us all heart attacks????? Lol! That would be insane!! 🔥

[@josedeleon2866]

Add the master Herbie Hancock!!!!!

[@PeteLamont]

Can't imagine how intimidating it was to be playing bass for Esperanza! Terri Lyne killing it throughout too!

[@Jazzday]

Thankfully the great Ben Williams appeared calm as can be!

[@skineyemin4276]

Well, she's an amazing bassist and talent, but, not quite as strong on electric bass guitarist.

[@leopoldorezende]

kkkk🤣

[@RyanRenteria]

Ben Williams tours with pat metheny… I don’t think he as much to worry about 😂

[@alexgoldbergbass]

Dude probably devoted his whole life to playing.

[@Devan-he4kr]

This randomly played on flight I was on from San Fransisco to Seoul in 2014. It was an old plane without individual TVs, so everyone had to watch the same thing. Really grateful that they played this.

[@ccmil555]

if I see Robert, I just click.. he is like a magician

[@lastannahme]

Yup... just the "intro - interlude - R.G.-signature" itself is wonderful PLUS ALL that follows... ESPERANZA SPALDING and all the other fantastic musicians on this set. jawdropping, amazing, goosebump inducing...

[@TheBeats4ya]

I saw him live with Ben Williams brother Jamire on drums…Amazing show!!

[@ccmil555]

@TheBeats4ya oh man.. I wish I can be there one day..

[@kimberlyking925]

Esperanza Spalding, Robert Glasper, Terri Lyne Carrington: Perfect COMBIMATION 🎹🎶🎵🎙🎤

[@moondocb]

My lucky day to have found this. The beautiful Esperanza Spalding singing with a beautiful band. And the awesome Terri Lyne Carrington on the throne keeping the beat.

[@LorenzoNW]

I love how all the musicians meld into the music, especially Robert Glasper.

[@kerry-ch2zi]

The really amazing part is that whatever she can do with this voice she can do on the bass, and sometimes at the same time...

[@Jazzday]

We love Esperanza!

[@gabrieleschulze7627]

Me, too! 😊​@@Jazzday

[@nicolalewis6739]

love Esperanza - so nice to hear Dale Barlow on flute too ha ha

[@teem5945]

I would pay any amount for the best on stage, Robert and Esparanza!

[@natemickens88]

My God... The flute , piano and bass on the Afro Blue Hook just blows me str8 away bruh....Solid Fire from the band.

[@ashleybelot9467]

No one is talking about how amazing her voice and this song are

[@mtaylor7307]

Because her genius is she never outshines. Always a perfect blend.

[@franckdebank]

Well song is good but she lacks groove and voice placement altogether

[@rachidvanheyningen]

@@franckdebank pls tell me this is sarcasm.....

[@TheMangyCalf]

It's, for me this round, transcendent.

[@536767676533766]

i did, did you not read my comment dude ???? pay attention please

[@jouhsagreen1627]

That black radio 3 is such a good album

[@melsmithmel]

[@kirkgallacher9144]

Praise the Lord for music... Amen, jazz, a world of it's own... Tre bien...

[@live.life.on.purpose]

Beautiful voice! I love this song. Erykah Badu and this version. 🔥🔥

[@kimberlyking925]

AGREE

[@Ardannyl]

Wish I could’ve see this in person!

[@kimberlyking925]

YESSSS

[@MatSmithLondon]

Anyone else want to get in there and brush the dust off Glasper’s jacket? Looks like he was crawling around the stage before the gig! Mmm Carrington on kit - so nice.

[@wandajoseph3917]

That looks like an iron burn, but great pianist

[@Je891000]

I'm a "63" Baby. This is a Spiritually refreshing remake of a soulful jazz blues Diddy. Always Sounds good. Not the same. Not Sorry. Godspeed.

She's real good. Thanks for sharing.

[@EKODELELE]

Ben knows he better be tight on that bass... ;) And he surely is, leaving room for the big lady Esperanza to freely express herself with voice... and hands for once! 🥰

[@jimhutchison]

[@awolfman2]

Wow!

[@mdsoulsounds]

First time I've ever seen her sing without her bass. It feels different.
