Aren’t we pleased to be alive now? Oh, yes.

[@frankgillet2752]

I’ve listened to this at least 100 times.

[@TheNInTeNdO3DSLoVeR]

Jazz is alive and well.

[@0aapo]

These are the kind of musicians that make extremely complex music extremely easy to listen. Stunning!

[@lukeestilwell]

Lionel’s tone!!!!! Holy fuck

[@chelsealauren1258]

Berklee's finest

[@virgilacevedo]

Esperanza is so talented. She is a genius on the bass and vocals. I listen to her everyday. Her music inspires me.

[@MrRazorblade999]

Esperanza Spalding is insanely talented.

[@alebay3712]

Esperanza Spalding is on a totally higher level , love her....

[@Lonewolf9999-d9r]

This band is so tight! So clean

[@uncleshaunofficial]

Truly amazing. It's as if the musician has a bond with the instrument that transcends the highest level of comprehension and resonates still on some visceral level with the audience. Music can be unbelievably beautiful.

[@MeltingIcecapsDrawmybabyUps]

how did I live my life without this before?!

[@jsphotos]

This is what genius sounds like.

[@luizavanco4943]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Hearing this music makes me grateful for being alive .

[@ireneruthfox]

Esperanza is my muse.....Thanks.

[@IAmTehRulz]

Hal Crook's face when the guitarist starts playing is all of us.

[@Phillphine]

when I was a kid my father asked me if I wanted to learn to play something. I said no. in my 20's the desire finally struck, but I guess my brain was too closed up by then and I can never get past fumbling through a few guitar chords. music like this makes me wish I could go back and smack me upside the head.

[@ThatWeirdoGaL90]

Just look at God....the more I play this piece on repeat the more I fall in love 😍 Ms.Esperanza is one of my favorite female artists hands down and always will remain my spirit animal ✨🦚💕

[@junearnold1265]

This is what brings humanity to its knees , the bonding of musicians to create, 2020 , boy do we need this now, we need to be corona free !

[@nen.user.3764]

Bravo......Real music. Thanks.

[@sylviaalambar9350]

This reminds me of Class music... unbelievably beautiful!!!!

[@YaoEspirito]

As almost always: Esperanza makes music that is mind-blowing, absolutely stunning, and yet just not anything I ever really feel like actually listening to. Maybe it's just me. I have jaw-dropping admiration for her super-human skills, but rarely enjoy the music she makes.

[@nicholass.6829]

Perfect to my ears. Enlighten my thoughts on jazz singers. I always hated them and now I found one I like and respect instantly. So smooth and complex.

[@omarthompson3957]
