- Esperanza Spalding has always resolutely, intuitively, deftly expanded upon both her art and herself as a world-renowned genre-bending composer, bassist and vocalist. Her latest album, "12 Little Spells," explores the healing power of art and how music and the body interact, with each song-spell inspired by a different part of the body. Spalding took the BUILD stage to tell us about the LP and play a few songs.

Kinda disrespectful to title this video "Jazz Basist Esperanza..." while she's clearly saying she's not, and not want to name herself a jazz musican.
Thank you for sharing the gift of improvisation Miss Spalding...
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Matthew Thaddeus instablaster ;)
I remember when she won best new artist at the Grammys that year over Justin Bieber and his fans went nuts and attacked her. She is very talented and focused love it
Dena Newton Fell into a RUclips rabbit whole and I found her through Nathan East. I’m just shocked to hear that the Grammys got something right
Esperanza and Justin being mentioned in the same sentence is an accurate example that that is something rotten going on in the music industry.
Thank god she did win :D
@@BrownEyedHighGirL and it is, for last 20 years or so :)
I was a Bieber fan and his loss led me to discover her music. I saw her perform at the Toronto Jazz Festival and she is so amazingly talented.
Esperanza, I never heard someone slur their words so clearly. It's like the flow of your vocal breeze is a clear stream of sweetness.
This woman is extremely impressive in both her music, her intellectuality and education. I understand how she doesn't want to be labeled by just one Genre. She can play anything that she choices to play.
I've always loved her. So authentic, sovereign, and humble. She seems like she partakes of the devil's lettuce... perhaps before this interview even. What a brilliant career of bringing meaning and joy to so many lives.
I had to look up Devil's Lettuce. Your funny.
It is beyond my comprehension how someone can be that intelligent, educated, talented and graceful as Esperanza. When I first saw her in a recording of a concert at White House (with Obama) where she performed the song "Tell him" by Lauryn Hill, I was litterally shocked by her talent and that ease while singing and bass playing at the same time, while smiling innocently.
Her artistry transcends genre. I just call it Esperanza music because her personal stamp and soul permeates every note and phrase. And 12 Little Spells is an incredible realization of what she's all about. That record blows me away.
Her mind is always on a mission.💛
Esperanza is absolutely brilliant, creative, innovative and eloquent! She's such a talented and versatile artist, great interview! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿✨🎉💖
Esperanza is music physically arranged in human form.
Good to see that in the generation of our kids there are extraordinary talents like Esperanza Spalding, who are aware of the values of Jazz and enjoy playing it.
Her essence is so inspiring and magical! I'm so happy artists like her exist 💗
These are all such great questions, and so thoughtfully answered by Esperanza. Brilliant interview! 👏👏👏
She has good energy
Can you imagine if she was your music teacher 🤩
Met her in ATL awhile ago. She's really awesome.
Splendid Elegance & Eloquence Personified
I've seen her in concert mode back in 2016. She's very talented. Love her music. She has a great spirit! Esperanza's music skills are diverse, and she can be a talented jazz musician as well. Lol.. Kudos to my girl, Esperanza!!
I love how esperanza describes whatever she is saying,using her right hand.Very expressive,intelligent and smart lady.
🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 She’s such a blessing to this world.
Incredible interview and is very inspiring to see Esperanza talking. So much knowledge, musicality and talent! 👏🏾
Word
She and Liz Wright are worth seeing above all others. Saw her in 2018 and I don't remember breathing until she was done. Beautiful woman with a sweet spirit on the stage. It is easy to get lost in her
She's so incredibly beautiful and talented. I'm in love.
These questions are really well thought. Well done
she's wonderful and a "ray of light."
I hope she lives a looooong time.
How many times can one evolve into Love with another... I've lost count but my Love of her spirit is immeasurable...
“I wasn’t as in touch with “the genres’” That explains everything ❤
Singing through the challenges of a venue to connect with your music... Wow, that is indeed a space to be explored, so often I've resigned from a rehearsal because the sound feels off... Really, it's my connection with my music or the performance that is off and that is where the work needs to be done... Thank you for that lesson.
Wow, what an incredible interview! Really love her thoughtful response and interesting questions. Not only thoughtful, her personality and vibe are so lovely. Her ‘oooh oh!’ Is me every time I get surprised. Feel proud for having a lil bit connection to this amazing woman 😂😂😂
What an amazing woman, great interview.
Thank you. This is illuminating. A smart beautiful woman. No jazz musician at all, as we could hear from her music already, besides the good technical competence. She likes to play with words too; while she denies the jazz musician role and keep on speaking of big jazz personalities she dealt with though. I like her singing in Kris Davis' Diamond Ribbons best. Maybe she is at her best as a music teacher, who knows
I love her!! 💖💖✨
Love me some Esperanza. Fortunate to have seen her do her thing live on multiple occasions within multiple musical contexts...and I always enjoy her interviews. Thanks for posting.
She's such a fucking genius
This Woman gets mor beautiful every passing moment with her Genius as her Crown.
Best Music inspired interview of the decade
Oh what I would do to be one of her students at Harvard... *sigh*
right?
I love Esperanza
I loved the album
A woman this talented and wonderful other things has to like flowers. Wonder if she has favorites.
Good everything! Thankssss
This is a damn good interview.
Oh yeah, so true, improvising does this.... calming all other activity down !! It's the best meditation !!
my god. this album is amazing, my favourite one from her ever
She is my musical shaman !
God she's so beautiful, her music is also super chill and laidback
I love her 💙
I'm in love

She is just too cool
I can’t wait for Iphigenia
This gal is a force
I enjoyed hearing Ms. Esperanza Spalding and her D-evol-ution concert live a few years ago. On improvisation, it is a birthing, a storytelling, a release of a unique and intimate product what we've cognitively synthesized. On her discussion of music as therapy: as a brain injury patient, I turned to music to help me heal. I'm crying now remembering how important it was to me- music saw me through that horrifically painful time. Therapists, talk to your patients, listen to them, ask them what you need to know to be the best music therapist. Peace, Love, Music, Laughter are indeed essential parts of the healing process.
Name dropping or a conscious appreciation of those musicians that inspire and move her ? I understated and respect her keenness not to be pigeon-holed.
12 little spells is an awesome album... Her best, I think, and that's saying a lot!
Ok where should I start Talented, Sexy, Intelligent, Humble, Esperanza got the goods and she knows it..
Black excellence
Esperanza is beyond brilliant, beyond talented. Thanks for posting this.
She's just immensely talented and humble with it! A little eccentric but that just makes her more interesting.
After listening to this album, i feel like there was a space in my soul that was empty until I listened to it. AMAZING
Spell cast😊
SHEEE LOOKS 12 YEARS OLD! Blessing!
OMG 😳
you are so beautiful!! (not even talking about your talent) :)
Just curious @BuildSeries what Camera did you use for this shoot?
Ummmm my other heartbeat...I feel it
I get what you meannn😭 her charms
Who else thinks that she should collaborate with Jacob Collier? They are similar in many ways>>>>>> AMAZING MUSICIANS>>>
🧘🏾♀️🙏🏾🧘🏾♀️♥️♥️
🍹🤔 💯 🎧❤️
Dang. I don't know how this fits yet. Dang. Dang. Why are you from here???
Why does Jaco always come up?
Interesting, I wish she could of told us what the number 12 means.
Cosmic Karma through the learning experience.When thoughts are sacrificed for your feelings, your mind will be illuminated with the answers you seek. 12 is also primary and binary at the same time. A special number. Esperanza is developing her understanding of numerology through the project
@@lavatar3562 WOW, thank you for explaining this to me. I appreciate you for it 😊.
Yes.
Musicians must be genre-less in order to keep working.
Esperanza doesn't give herself enough credit. Clearly
🤔
Imagine her being your wife :)
You'd better be strong to keep up to that level of... soul power
Erectile dysfunction would be an impossibility ! Good lava!
Erectile dysfunction would be impossible !!!
She loves baphomet
The hand gesture vid sent me here. There are pics with the Jesus with hand symbols as well. She's an amazing talent. Prodigy
悲しいだよ。。。😧
Baphomet?
Is this the chick that did the devil sign on tv?
I don't know. What if she did? If something like that upsets you I think you're like a 5 year old who is afraid of the dark.
it was a buddhist mudra that spiritually-ignorant westerners misinterpreted
