Powerful lady. She's friends with a neighbor of mine in Portland. One time she came by when I was at the house, and I don't think I've ever been so flabbergasted. Super sweet, too.
@@juanf.crespo2639no serious jazz fans listen to Jacob Collier’s theoretical nonsense. Comparing him to Esperanza is a disgrace. Someone needs to explain to Jacob just because you CAN do something, doesn’t mean you should. Horrendous music.
Plenty of great musicians, but worse music popular than--say, the Big Bands my father-in-law came back to after 2 years in the Pacific on a minesweeper he captained. And Europe values American jazz more that the average restaurant in US--playing songs their waitresses and chefs like, 20-year olds.
Sinatra did I suppose the most popular version of this song. Esparanza obviously struck a chord and took them back to their childhood when they or perhaps their parents were jamming the Sinatra version. Music is a frequency and vibration and can affect our inner frequency and vibration in a positive way. Other than the song itself, the most enjoyable part of the video was watching the audience get into in it. Nothing in life could be cooler........
I taught this one to my daughter when she was about 9 or 10. She had the greatest voice ever. Yeah, I know ... I'm probably a little biased. Proud Dad.
Great to see how proud MIchelle Obama looks during this fantastic performance of Esperanza Spalding. Fantastic that she may occur a few times for the White House performances.....shall miss it
@@gidikalchhauser Tru dat! It can still be appreciated. The ocean and the mountains are beautiful, and they themselves have nothing to do with their creation. It's ok to appreciate beauty for beauty's sake. Just a brother sharin'...
Definitely needed to hear this today during The Time of COVID-19 and the unholy reign of President Pussygrabber. To think that we used to have a President who actually led the country, was intelligent and spoke eloquently, and that he and The (wonderful) First Lady welcomed jazz artists to The White House. Lord, but I miss the old days. Esperanza plays her a$$ off, love her.
I'd have never thought four years after this performance I would be looking back at this video in isolation thinking, 'boy those were the good ole days.'
What a flow, what a mood, what a sound… Aaaaahhh😍 Her playing is so wise, no unnecessary virtuosity. But a show with good speech intro and jokes, and she’s so beautiful!!!!!♥️ (And it’s an amazing American (music)history-moment: a genius black musician plays for the black president!!!♥️ )
I can' t keep myself one single day without to be lisntening the music by Esperanza Spalding,she simplly fantastic ,wonderful great musician.I love her too much !!!
Playing a bass, while singing is not easy..as opposed singing with a guitar... ..but miss Spalding hits is out of this galaxy on both counts...what a voice...what dexterity on the double bass... ...and sexy as sexy can be...oh my... is it hot in here??
she is wonderfully talented. the creepy 'sexy' comments were not necessary...she is a musician. you would not say the same thing about a male musician. it's not a compliment.
you know that's not what was meant. don't twist it. she is a musician in her own right who deserves respect. 'sexy' is not respectful. you can find people attractive but there are better ways of expressing that
@@bclover761 okay word police, as soon as you whip up an "all inclusive book" that explains every situation, and every exemption that everyone demands for conversations. im curious as to what you think i would like as a bi-sexual musician. you have no power to force people to speak in anyway you need to get over yourself. she is sexy.
WHO are the 23 thumbs down people? Are they crazy? This performance is stunning in every way! SHE is stunning in every way! her playing, her voice, her looks? Good god. She is brilliant!
What we define as a "Hater". Haters wanna feel like they still have some power over someone doing something positive, so they will respond to it negatively. Often only because whatever they are hating is something they can't do themselves
I watched this video 2 years ago, now I'm still fallin' love w her voice. Singing and playing bass at the same time is very difficulttttt. Esperanza did it!😍
I love esperonza she is amazing she just played the bass at my sisters wedding shes a dear friend of our amazing community here in portland bless her heart as shes mourning her aunt's passing sending love hugs and blessings from above
Go Esperanza!! Doin' it the hard way, yet making it look flawless and easy and it's only easy if you "ain't" doin' it. To vocal along "and" single note a giant acoustic bass and to control it's stance all at once is quite the feat only the rare can do which takes a lot of invested time and effort. That thumbs down button is only proof that the "ignorant" are amongst us and they don't have the sense go find something more credible to hate other than to mess up things for those who are enjoying this. People are not who you want them to be. Everyone be careful out there..
I think the Obamas had the best White House performances. They have great taste in music and art. All politics aside that they did a great job in representing American with so much class.
How have I not heard of this woman? Amazing, phenomenal, incredible, bone chilling... I don't know what words to use by Ms Esperanza, I am now your newest biggest fan
Good day to you. how are you doing? May every step you make be filled with happiness, love, and peace. And nice to meet you too where are you from, if you don’t mind me asking😊😊
followed her 2006 on my space, saw her 2008 at the bim huis in Amsterdam touring with her Debut Album, Completely fell in love with her voice, her spirit, compositions, just blown away. 2012 New York Zink Bar Jam Session, hanging with the cats, a lot of good musicians there that night, 2am having a smoke outside, cab roles up, Esperanza comes out with her Band they just finished a Gig with Sting at the Carnegie Hall, she goes into the bathroom changes to more casual clothes and plays at the session until morning. Last time I saw her was in Berlin Live concert with that Electric Performative Band. Each and every time an Absolute Bliss to witness such Grace. Thank god for this Gift of Life. ESPERANZA forever💜
Such a great performance I came back to listen AND look again... So beautiful, she's like a shining, glistening jewel... Such a beautiful woman & spirit... PLUS, 16 bars of great soloing too... Wow...
Used this against my 13 yr old daughter’s complaints that she looked “ stupid” playing the bass. Thank you, Esperanza, for the inspiration & gift.

Her bass playing is excellent , her voice is spectacular. She is the brightest young star in Jazz.

I dig that because most women don't play bass that! She can play that bass like anything!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
W THE MUSIC HARDCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE
Yes, but the sax player screwed everything.

How she hits those high notes while playing those low notes is mind-boggling!
Her fingers have a mind of their own.
She sings.
They play.😄

Yeah that really is amazing
Esperanza is just something else. Anyone would be lucky to sing or play bass as well as her.
She carries a room so effortlessly. #Mezmerizing
"to carry a room"- what a wonderful phrase! I'm adding that to my vocabulary.

yup
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing!
Her heart is off the charts.Musically she is a genius.
Jazz is not dead, folks. This woman is a genius
Why would jazz be dead? Are you 13?
@@baldrick1485 i mean i was like 14 5 years ago lol.
Her confidence, the way she commands attention during her intro and her musical talent. Spectacular!
And people say we don't have any great musicians anymore...
The only people who say that are lazy asses who couldn't bother to look past the top 40 (which btw, no one listens anyway)
In most genres there’s LESS great musicians than there once was. But there’s always diamonds in the rough
Who says that
The best musicians use *turn tables* now, lol.
Plenty of great musicians, but worse music popular than--say, the Big Bands my father-in-law came back to after 2 years in the Pacific on a minesweeper he captained. And Europe values American jazz more that the average restaurant in US--playing songs their waitresses and chefs like, 20-year olds.
I never comment on anything. But this woman gives me hope. A special human.
cant...stop...hitting....the repeat button...halp

That little monologue at the start gave me goosebumps and I don’t know why lol
her voice and bass playing are just 10/10
All of Portland, Oregon is proud of the incomparable Esperanza Spalding. What a talent!
Imagine being a bassist so impeccable you have the great Nathan East comping back-up bass chords for you. Marvelous.
And digging your playing while he's doing so! (3:24)
Nathan East...smiling & grooving at the beauty of Esperaza's singing & playing
Extremely talented both as a combined bassist and singer. Jazz is living through new talent.
You can see on the other musicians faces that they really are enjoying performing with her.
Her singing literally gives me chills every time.
3:03
'Without underestimating anyone, she is above average. On a higher plane in the professional sense, the result of a lot of talent and hard work.'
3:23
'she must have a good relationship with water'
maybe its GERD
Esperanza means "Hope!" For those who don't know yet !
Ebln Espanol..and probably Portuguese. :)
Somehow, 'hope's the last item left out of the 'Pandora's Box' the U.S. has just opened to the world, some two (or perhaps three) years ago, now...
@@kristinaclark4264 It's Spanish 100%. In Portuguese it's esperança.
Look, it's Sherlock.
And Spalding means Espalda
Playing bass with a great voice. A complete class act which you don't see everyday.
The lady at 1:22 looks like she is in complete heaven. And she should be. I love everything about how Esperanza did this song.
The young lady at 1:22 is so incredibly awesome!!!!!!! Anyone knows who she is? I can't stop hitting replay at 1:22
Yes! She was 100% digging Esperanza!
That's Rachel Maddow

Proud Dad.
Her vocal tone is otherworldly.
I feel like crying listening to such a smoothy melody sang by such a wonderful voice. Greetings from Brazil!

What I saw was the smile of musical bliss.
So amazing how this youngster can channel this sound from a totally different era and turn it into a futuristic Jazz session.
Oh she is just delightful !!
One of the coolest people to ever walk the face of the earth
Love that Nancy Wilson influence in her sound!
It wonders how some people can select thumb down on such a beautiful manifestation of bright music.
Esperanza Spalding = beauty, class, and talent all the way! Great performance, great First Couple!
Some people have everything, and I can't sing worth.a lick !
How is beauty always a part of lists like that? She got that by chance and it has nothing to do with her act.
You were right until you said great First couple! They're a joke. Not hatin', just sayin'....

She is not only very talented,but also super charming!
She is so beautiful and amazing bassist. I love . . .

As a foreigner, quite confusing that how you get to this one now right from Obama.....
President Pussygrabber is just spot on. And how sad...
that was so SO good... I let out something like an orgasmic sigh of "Oh my God" during the bass solo

I've got goosebumps hearing her first part of the songs. A really great rendition she made. Such a brilliant voice!
Like the first cup of coffee to start the day. No words,..just feelings
omg I have chills. How have I not heard this before? I am simply flabbergasted.
I’m so stupid in love with this woman!!! It’s not fair that someone is that insanely talented and that uncomfortably beautiful!!
Playing the bass, and singing is extremely hard. A true virtuoso.
i cried at the intro. then cried at the coda even more. this lady has become one of my favorite divas of all time, and i respect her so much.

Cant imagine thinking to play every note perfectly, in the perfect place with perfect rythym,and then singing perfectly to.
