I'm a simple man... anyone who can sing and play the bass at the same time is awesome. Now, when they are excellent at singing while ripping it on the double bass, that makes my day.

Peaceful ambience like the kind you get at an expensive restaurant. Like someone who knows you

My god she’s incredible,the way she sings and keeps time playing those bass lines.

This is Genius!!! Esperanza is on a whole nother level that reminds me of how a young Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and the other mighty legends and true icons have traveled!! This is magnificent 👏 👌 🙌!! Bravo Esperanza 👏 🙌 👍!!!!

Esperanza is superhuman wtf. I click randomly through this whole set and i just shake my head in disbelief. mouth agape. wtf she's so beyond

they were all so happy to be performing with each other. incredible performance and stage presence from the band

The just Best of soul in Jazz - the Esperanza

No easy task to sing convincingly while playing the upright bass. Serious hardcore talent here.

Skats like she was there when it all began. You can't fake skattin. You got it or you don't! Sorry! For folks who've lived it, like me it causes a bit of temporal displacement to hear it coming from some 14 year old looking, bass killin, cute af, afro slingin chica. You have any idea how many life traps she's skirted to arrive at this level of musical and personal perfection? High salute to her Mom who must be a force to be reckoned with herself! P.S. High kudos to this band! Your challenges are well met!!! And that hair is all glory. Cant'even express all the power deriving from that cosmic antenna!

She's insane! one of the most talented people I have ever seen and I just met her, I feel she has a certain touch of bjork in her voice, she is a really special artist.

wow, scat is not heard often - she does a fantastic job - love this

the way the guitar player looks at her says what we all think and feel about her! she is so...wow!!!

She is a super hero.

She is beautiful in every aspect!!!!

I want the guitarists vibe that guy is high on life.

Not fair. She smokes the bass, sings and is totally adorable. Esperanza took all the good stuff.

First time I've ever seen her play a bass with frets.... Earlier versions of songs from E.S., Chamber Music Society... I've never heard Sunlight before

How could you not be impressed with her, such a natural talent.

Esperanza is amazing for sure and I love this band as a whole.

Just awesome. I have no words

That guitar player is a machine.

Experiencing the male equivalent of a 14 year old girl having bieber fever listening to Esperanza for the first time . Wow , I just ..... don't know what I'm supposed to do with these feels so I guess I'll share them . 😅😍

You know, I don't really like jazz: never really got into it, but I've been listening for about a half-hour now, and I can honestly see the appeal. I still wouldn't listen to jazz regularly after this, but, I do feel like I have more of an understanding about why so many people enjoy it so much.

For her to embody - heart and soul, the Brazilian music so well, is just stunning.

"Jazz Under The 🍎 Tree" is Organic, Spiritual and "Melaninic"; don't you agree. What Beauty to behold!

No way in the world u be still on something this GOOD.

The best intro ever heard. The first time I heard a veil was thrown away

this is what i woke up to. of course i went back to sleep, but it was still beautiful

Senora Esperanza Apparantelly you know of the Fabulous Ray Brown. Mr Otis Brown, another fabulous musician.

she is just beautiful in every way,, her voice makes you fall in love completely

I don't really speak 'jazz', or believe in reincarnation, but I'm a fan of Deep Space 9, and it seems to me Esperanza is a Trill with both Monk and Ella inserted into her body. We Terrans are fortunate to be visited by her. Like everybody else who posts, I'm in love!

thank you very much...I adore "I adore you"

screaming and crying.., ty miss spalding

She makes me feel Esperanza (hope) again in the human being..

I've been in love with her since I saw her on PBS as a teen. Studying music, I would share her music with fellow music majors and we all praised her talent as well as the other musicians. Music that influenced us mere students, and made our lives all the richer!!! Thank you Madame for gifting the world with your talent, artistry, and grace!

Outrageous hypnotic talent

She totally rocks that 'fro! Looks hot and plays hot. Just amazing.

Wow!!! It's undiscovered gem in RU-vid

I love her skills but i wish the bass volume was higher. I want to experience all of it.

Holy smoke, amazing!! That first track..Il be back to listen to the rest..Cheers from NZ

Esperanza canta com a alma!

She is simply FANTASTIC!

That expermented jazz can be so nicely payed!!!

In this music there floats a kind of mist suitable for dreams and gentle drifts. A climate of rediscovered peace that we sometimes feel without knowing exactly why during certain summer nights! these artists build a discourse of interiority, of breathing, which knows how to make room for silence 💋❤

This has to be the best playing on this utube. Love it

Amazing!!!

I was impressed before she even started playing that double bass

Thank you for posting. And thank you ALGORITHM, computer nerds, technically, Ronald Reagan, whoever I need to thank for Esperanza and the band finding my phone.

This Young Lady is AMAZING!! I loved her performances since she was very very young, she is just amazing .

Ponta de Areia (32'36") Milton Nascimento and the mineiros, always creating and exporting the best of the MPB and the brazilian jazz standards.

ESPECTACULAR!!!!

Thank you. Merci. :) . Yes, mahavishnu orchestra, pat methane group, Jaco pastorius and weather report etc all brought me here. What a long strange trip it's been . Coming from a former full-time metal head hehe

this is the smokiest, my favorite E Spalding is right in this video

That SCAT in the first song transcends all languages! Bold, sensual compositions Ms. Spalding, with great accompaniment by your band members!

And Her Voice... ❤️

I love her ❤

It's been the longest day of my life and to end it I just got some heavy jazz brilliance to torment me into trying to get the best of it without listening to all of it before I get my ass to bed. Surely brilliant, a great band. Cool songs. Shall be back...

Esperanza started to play double bass bcs her parents couldn't afford expensive activities on her free time, she then picked up a double bass at her school and started to experiement wt it and later began to compose music, a lot of fantastic music has come out of it‼️🎯JazzyT.

Magical talent. Please keep sharing your gift with us Esperanza!

THEY ARE AMAZING. I can express how incredible this is, im just a begginer musician and watching her expressing so much is just beautiful

i was literally 1yo when this happened and i still regret discovering this just now.

Best Ess... with finesse.,. bellissimo...grande...magnifique, mon cher🥰😇

What a career to embark on the light is shinning bright on you Espie, the music is forward and your intellect is astounding. The road ahead can be long, pray for the strength to stay on it and be free.

EXQUISITELY SUPERB!!! What's not to love?!!! I love it all, from the melody, the very tight instrumentation of the whole band, and of course Esperanza's virtuoso bass playing and her lovely scat singing!

Esperanza é fantástica... qualquer adjetivo é pouco! Adoro ouvi-la e vê-la tocar.
