She is so uniquely gifted talented, she plays these jazz phrases on her bass that are not easy to play, at the same she sings the melody, including melody phrases she sings, she is like doing two different concepts at the same, i.e. Close your eyes & listening to her bass & singing at same time it sounds like two different people playing, because the bass phases are very difficult in timing & melodies she sings have their own timing
un mostro veramente, ma soprattutto una grandissima jazzista al pari di un jazzista uomo, muicista però non esecutore...l'ho vista ieri in tv...Un talento incredibile
i'm so glad that i saw her at Prince concert..she is divine...so beautiful and no need of a ton of make up..this is music right here...we still do have good artist/singer if u are willing to look for them...
This young lady is the truth.She is a god saint for music ,she will change the game of jazz music so that the young players can katch up with the old player that knew good jazz .
Most Bass players I heard or played with I've thought or said: Hurry and get that solo over with now! Mingus,& Pastorius & Stanley Clarke were the last past greats. Esperanza, never met her, but she's the best current bass player on the scene today. Stanley Clarke is my favorite Bassist of all time.
Charlie Mingus is either cheering her or rolling over in his grave, but I think Mingus would approve and love her as the musician she truly is! WHAT A STAR-TRIPPN' GENIUS SOLO SHE DOES ON THIS CUT. +, what a voice she has! I only regret that I hadn't heard of her until a few months ago. Nothing sexier than a beautiful woman that can REALLY play an instriment, plus sing in a sensual & talented voice that is eclipsed by very few in the history of music. Jazz is my ride & she's taken me miles.
@danman004 I just found out that this song is on Terri Lynn Carrington's new album called The Mosaic Project which was just released on July 19, 2011. You can also buy the song on Itunes because the whole album is on itunes.
@MrStrangeSensation Hi. I am also a bass player, firstly electric then double, so i have gone through the whole amplification issue that comes with playing a double bass. I would firstly like to say that i totally understand how hard it is to get a good sound from a double bass through a P.A, and that double basses need 1 really good mike if not two, to truely capture their true sound. It also depends on the technique, and how hard the player 'digs into' the bass.
Quem sabe agora o excelente bom gosto musical volte ao Brasil através dessa inimitável swingueira e polivalente Esperanza e assim um final de tantas bobagens feitas em nome da Musica
I love her bass technique she plays it like she plays a violin which I believe she played this instrument first. Her dexterity on the bass, the way she plays the chords, gives her an advantage I think.
@joebassplayer Fair enough, yeah. I guess that's the trouble with a gigantic acoustic instrument, hahaha. But damn do I love this girl! I'm willing to look past the flat tone, given that she can indeed play like a monster; not to mention she's beautiful and her voice is pure gold. Thanks for explaining.
@joebassplayer I absolutely refuse to get into an argument on RUclips, but can I ask you, from a standpoint of curiosity as I am play the bass guitar and am somewhat ignorant of these things...what's wrong with her tone? To my admittedly untrained ear, uprights almost always sound more or less the same to me. Like I said, I play electric bass and I just don't know about uprights, so I'm curious.
Mingus, Carter, Pastorious....and now Spalding. Incredible.
I absolutely agree! She sounds like no one else and nobody else sounds like her. She takes my breath away and I am so happy to have found her music.
Those who like fine things, treasure Esperanza. A brilliant voice outstanding.
Words cannot explain the feeling the performance gives me. Speechless! Kudos Esperanza!
Her coordination is amazing!
Her solo was on fire! Wow
She is so uniquely gifted talented, she plays these jazz phrases on her bass that are not easy to play, at the same she sings the melody, including melody phrases she sings, she is like doing two different concepts at the same, i.e. Close your eyes & listening to her bass & singing at same time it sounds like two different people playing, because the bass phases are very difficult in timing & melodies she sings have their own timing
Yes, you seem to describe her so well....she inspires me soooooo Much

Best new artist, who can sing, play, and not rely on repetitive studio beats, with a modified studio voice

Most Bass players I heard or played with I've thought or said: Hurry and get that solo over with now! Mingus,& Pastorius & Stanley Clarke were the last past greats. Esperanza, never met her, but she's the best current bass player on the scene today. Stanley Clarke is my favorite Bassist of all time.

I fully agree. It sounds like she is playing the low strings of a regular electric guitar.
Genius
Would love to hear her play with "Return To Forever"
Those are some Janis Joplin vocals! Respect!
@joebassplayer
Fair enough, yeah. I guess that's the trouble with a gigantic acoustic instrument, hahaha. But damn do I love this girl! I'm willing to look past the flat tone, given that she can indeed play like a monster; not to mention she's beautiful and her voice is pure gold.
