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

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

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

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.

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.

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...

I would like to see Esperanza and Samara Joy in a duet. They would make beautiful, sumptuous music.

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

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.

That black radio 3 is such a good album

Afro Blue - vocal Mongo Santamaria 1959 Dream of a land my soul is from I hear a hand stroke on the drum Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue Elegant boy Beautiful girl Dancing for joy Delicate whirl Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue Two young lovers dance face to face With undulating grace They gently sway Then slip away To some secluded place Dream of a land my soul is from I hear a hand stroke on the drum Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue Elegant boy Beautiful girl Dancing for joy Delicate whirl Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue Two young lovers dance face to face With undulating grace They gently sway Then slip away To some secluded place Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue Two young lovers dance face to face With undulating grace They gently sway Then slip away To some secluded place Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue

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

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.

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

Wish I could’ve see this in person!

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

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

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

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

She is Music! A Musical Genius! I can't describe her in words! 🎶🎶🔥🔥🎯💯

Music in good hands and health 👏💓🤠

I love it when stars align like this

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 on a different level

that rhythm section is blowing my mind - and Esperanza is always magic

Absolute excellence in the bond and brotherhood of every musician contributing! This is why I search for musical Gems it’s music for the Soul . A huge thank you.

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! 🥰

I love this performance of Afro Blue I wished they didn’t cut out Herbie’s introduction

Unbelievably beautiful especially the improvisation

The bassist rocks

a love supreme ( no else needed)

Nice interplay among all band members

The oh-so gorgeous and sensational Esperanza Spalding. If I ever met her I would love to give her a hug!

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you!

Wow! That was really nice guys! Always nice to see a fellow former Berklee student living the life.

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

cool version and dope beat

Beautiful with or without her instrument. She is it in herself. Complete. And Doc on skins, exquisite. An masterpiece with RG⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A place of peace in the lands of time this is a beautiful dream spoken in tones of dream by extremely talented instrumental people ,like a distant kites voices in the breeze

Thank you Mongo Santamaría (music), Oscar Brown(lyrics), and Abby Lincoln (1st recording) - 1959, and the incredible interpretation by this all-star ensemble.

The bass player is doing all the hard work, keeping the drive haha

Kandace Springs rendition is on another level.

CHILLLLLLZZZZZZZZ

Woooh!

Wow...not used to seeing Esperanza without a bass. Curious if she enjoys singing more without an instrument in her hands.

It's a little late but welcome to Istanbul

I mean, you have to at least include Terri Lyne Carrington's name on your video's title. I mean..., that's Terri Lyne Carrington! Put some respect on her name and presence.

The Chemistry!!!!!

👏🏾👏🏾

och Gotttes willen is das geil! mein lieber Scholli. oh oh is thattt nice jachhaa 👌🏽👂🏽🥰👍🏽💜🐢

Schööööööööön

I like how he is dressed the bass player, ahahah, may after concert is getting married.

How can I see them live? Together.

5:35

John Coltrane would be proud of this rendition

How does Robert do it ?

who is on the piano?

Esperanza was performing with Joe Lovano @ Longwood Gardens in PA back in about 2013 and I'll never get over how rude she was to a women waiting on line at the post show meet and greet. The fan was an older woman who asked for a picture with her and Esperanza said "NO!" She really thinks who she is. It was disgusting.

Everything god like except for vocals

damn Lalah Hathaway should perform here isnt she has more amplitude and jovial

Who is the original composer of "Afro Blue"? I'll give y'all a hint; he's black.

This “hip-hop”…approach to jazz…with its grooves, sounds always the same to me 🤷🏻‍♂️.. please don’t slaughter me 🙏🏼 peace 😊✌🏼

Spalding almost in pitched

Not a fan of her Erica should have been there 🤷🏾‍♂️

just think.....Esperanza Spalding and Kurt Eling scating together, now... that would really be grand !!
