She is so far and beyond the majority of music/musicians today. Just super talented and exudes this with ease - true talent. Travels on different wavelengths that are way to high for the regular mob to understand or appreciate. God damn shame she ain't getting the acclaim she deserves across this earth. So moving, so theatrical, so passionate, so alarmingly beautiful and gracious is Esperanza Spalding

[@charltelosqa1539]

So true

[@peekaboo4390]

All you need to do is watch the 2023 grammy's to realise that every word you said is a fact.

[@zeljkobedenikovic9253]

So true But you'r bit in love Like we all She is brilliant

[@HMohr]

I cry every time I listen to her. Esperanza is music physically arranged in human form.

[@Below-Average_Joe]

Esperanza Spalding is simply a genius.

[@JustFiddler]

yes she is

[@jazznutz]

She exists on a completely different frequency. A wonder of the world.

[@richardlopez4318]

She’s as beautiful as she is talented. My goodness!

[@seabslew]

OH MY GOD is correct. Esperanza is my musical version of Bruce Lee. So much charisma and so beautiful to watch. Totally captivating when she performs and cannot stop watching. Love her so much. The sky is the limit for her. "Exposure " project pure genius.

[@ebonyprince9546]

"Esperanza is my musical version of Bruce Lee" Thank you. I can go to bed now. Mada my day.

[@ralphalaric6996]

Instablaster.

[@yvettejones4249]

She's such a beautiful woman. And I agree that she is a musical, lyrical genius.

[@johnhendricks8140]

Holding down the bassline while singing such dynamic lines, what a musician! I'm surprised she haven't heard her do any music for broadway or music soundtracks her music has a cinematic vibe.

[@mywebist]

she incorporates theatre in her performances which is so unique. like a musical but it feels like a music concert mainly instead of a drama. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX2QkoWgn96EptE click on the link to watch the show.

[@roymathew1110]

That had to have been the most amazing version of good lava that I've heard - she can't stop outdoing herself!

[@blackcosmos]

"Seed grows on the mountain You can dig it with a silver spoon Float it off to market Hawk and talk it from hot-air balloons Get your good old-fashioned learning Hear the bell in summers Ending underneath the apple tree Time to choose a branch And build your nest of animosity Now we're really, really learning It's been hard to grow outside Growing good, and act happy And pretend that the ivy vines Didn't weigh our branch down It's been hard to grow outside But we're finally happy Where the sage on the mountain now Is a plant or animal..." - Ebony & Ivy

[@philippgrunert8776]

Is it just me... Our it's this actually pretty heavy. I always dig her music's rhythms and bass composition, but those melodies and writing in general.... Woohoo. Brilliant

[@LizzieLouiza]

It isn’t just you.

[@krishnagurung5434]

Wonderful concert with so much of life and charm in her singing and playing the bass.Thanks for posting it.

[@estelajimenez670]

What a pro Much class

[@Kaktuskastl]

what a brutal force of nature.

[@Pabloinjuanderland]

I wish she would release this version of apple blossom on a single or something! It is outrageously stunning!!! Baffled everytime I hear it.

[@sofianoiti]

Jaco's child, and out of this world. A pure genius!

Extraordinarimente brillante esta joven.

[@frankyandme2]

What an Incredible young woman...!!!!

[@Musiqwest]

Wow Esperanza! She looks so amazingly youthful every time she sings!! Pure Euphoria!!! Earth to Heaven...Wow!!!! And the high-heeled sneakers tho...

[@josepharrigo7676]

Woman touching fire,refreshing with wind,nurturing mind and heart ❤

[@jmoemorris4133]

I HAVE THIS ALBUM AND I GOTTA SAY I AM ENJOYING THE ORCHESTRA VERSION, INCREDIBLE TALENT IN THIS ORCHESTRA!

[@MrDinamoehumm]

she is so awesome

[@RayfieldA]

Wow, I see what she means about the String section! "Apple Blossom" sounds Much better with the orchestra, than it does on the Tiny Desk version. So beautiful.

[@insidejazzguitar8112]

Uses that low B string to devastating effect. Amazing composition and singing. How could anyone be this talented?

[@3emmanuel3]

WOW, her Spirit is Beyond words,,.............. Angle

[@j.lombardo]

Apple Blossom is pretty magical

[@ZoeMarlowe1]

This woman is my greatest inspiration along with Jaco Pastorius and Stu Hamm as far as bass players go. ~1 year later I am still contemplating getting an upright contrabass like her white and gold one... But I'm not worthy of that (yet). All I can say is she is off the planet as far as talent, beauty, innovation, (+long list) are concerned, I am truly 'mesmerized' by Esperanza...

[@zeljkobedenikovic9253]

Croatians would say " Svi bodovi " "All the points " Love from Croatia Esperanza must be heard worldwide ❤

[@3emmanuel3]

WOW her Spirit is BEYOND Words........... 😇

[@danielcontreras6985]

Me parece una artista muy completa en el medio de la musica felicidades

[@nagyesszep]

I loved it when she was about to list off the orchestra one by one :D

[@marksoria6487]

I hear the most beautiful notes of Ravel in Esperanza here among other great feelings.

[@girlplanetboy]

I guess God just likes some of his children more than others.

[@reynaldorenderos3369]

NO, IT just blesses the rest of us with their presence, and with the wondrous and mysterious rapture of their gifts!!! Which, as Manslow said, we can all feel deeply and partake in!

[@Megamatthiesen]

Naa it’s more like an example of what you can be able to do if you are dedicated and work hard. And if you can follow it in your mind you are halfway there...God bless us all with different talents and you can be whatever you want to. To reach her or any kind of genius will take 2-3 life times with hard work. But it needs to burn in your soul. God love you as much as Esperanza 😉🕺🌏❤️

[@dancewomyn1]

@@reynaldorenderos3369 .....And the reason we recognize their gifts is because it reflects back to us the light we all know and understand we are part of ,and is contained in all things living!!

Esperanza, PLEASE come to Turning Stone in upstate NY, or the Stanley Theater in Utica.Everyone will love you.

[@jazznutz]

The very definition of "artsy"

[@variousspaces4663]

Such-Sweet-Solemn-Spalding

[@DavidCKendall]

Flippant of me to say, but she reminds me of Frank Zappa having a particularly good day.

Wow wee!!!!!!!!!!

[@patriciawise2277]

I would like to know who designed her beautiful outfit?

[@YaoEspirito]

I wonder if it's alright to be continually astounded by her unearthly talent and vision, yet have no interest in listening to her music. I can see the genius, but have rarely heard a song by her I would ever choose to listen to; just doesn't speak to me at all.

[@jumill]

... and her music and talent is not for the faint of heart.

[@ologistyurny3752]

i want to be certain that you are describing yourself’s short comings while acknowledging her creativity so I ask what are you going to do to improve yourself to be able to to hear and understand this beautiful artist you describe as a genius?

[@simonlee8889]

Don't worry, keep trying, it's probably just a bit too sophisticated for you right now...

[@stuartmunro6027]

Well, you try and speak to her music which is on another plane and I'm sure once your mind opens up to it,it will help you free your soul from bondage.. remember your mind is not in your head but in every part of your body.... Feel.. feel your surroundings.. the ants the trees the birds the waterfalls the wind and you will eventually feel her music.

and you have to know somebody, who knows somebody etc... If you know percussion they are definitely interested.

[@Jazzijuano]

Please fix the mixing

[@TeddyLeppard]

What's up with the orchestra? They allow them to wear t-shirts now?

[@insidejazzguitar8112]

Did she do the orchestral arrangement too!

[@yvettejones4249]

i don't like the fact that she was dressed so elegantly and every other musician is wearing a t-shirt. Had it been another performer they would have worn tuxedos...I dunno. maybe it's just me.

[@lisadavis8344]

The other musicians are students--the baseball shirts are their uniform and contain their logo: NYO2.

[@YaoEspirito]

I agree it's tacky-looking, but it seems clear that that was the arrangement; not someone's decision to slum.

[@josepharrigo7676]

Who's looking at the clothes? It's the truth of music unbridled. AI will never accomplish this.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

@@lavernetaylor9218 yah think?

[@tubesticker]

Drummer‘s not up to the task

[@bernios3446]

Yes, she is very very good at whatever he does, I just feel that sometimes she over- exposes her self assurance a bit too much by coquetting and talking like a mature woman and telling (a bit too) clever stories of her life. In my opinion - unnecessary because just by her art - and her being a beautiful young woman - everybody would admire her anyway.

[@tomi3671]

Bernhard Ess i love her music but I actually agree with you

[@sukytownsend2492]

MAybe just maybe she wants to been recognized for more than her art and beauty. Maybe she wants to be known as an intelligent WOMAN as well as a creator, artist and beautiful

[@floflo4967]

Hear hear. If it were a man on stage I'm sure no one would have noticed his self-assurance. As if self-assurance in women is a bad thing?!

[@bernios3446]

How do you know I wouldn't have noticed? And I didn't say her self- assurance is bad in itself, but how she is trying to expose it a bit too much. That's a difference, no? Talking sometimes like an "elder states(wo)man of Jazz" - which due to her age she just isn't...

[@Musiqwest]

She is probably teaching more. And her last two albums have been aimed much more directly at social consciousness.
