Stop the madness, stop the war and listen to Jazz ☮️
POWERFUL ❤
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.
if I see Robert, I just click.. he is like a magician
Yup... just the "intro - interlude - R.G.-signature" itself is wonderful PLUS ALL that follows... ESPERANZA SPALDING and all the other fantastic musicians on this set. jawdropping, amazing, goosebump inducing...
I saw him live with Ben Williams brother Jamire on drums…Amazing show!!
@TheBeats4ya oh man.. I wish I can be there one day..
Jazz is the healer ☮️
Can't imagine how intimidating it was to be playing bass for Esperanza! Terri Lyne killing it throughout too!
Thankfully the great Ben Williams appeared calm as can be!
Well, she's an amazing bassist and talent, but, not quite as strong on electric bass guitarist.
kkkk🤣
Ben Williams tours with pat metheny… I don’t think he as much to worry about 😂
Dude probably devoted his whole life to playing.
No one is talking about how amazing her voice and this song are
Because her genius is she never outshines. Always a perfect blend.
Well song is good but she lacks groove and voice placement altogether
@@franckdebank pls tell me this is sarcasm.....
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...
We love Esperanza!
Praise the Lord for music...
Amen, jazz, a world of it's own...
Tre bien...
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.
That black radio 3 is such a good album
it's amazing and just got a Grammy nomination...😃
Beautiful voice! I love this song. Erykah Badu and this version. 🔥🔥
AGREE
Wish I could’ve see this in person!
YESSSS
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
I would pay any amount for the best on stage, Robert and Esparanza!
I love how all the musicians meld into the music, especially Robert Glasper.
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.
No doubt 💯🔥👍🏿
She is Music! A Musical Genius! I can't describe her in words! 🎶🎶🔥🔥🎯💯
Music in good hands and health 👏💓🤠
Magic music Maya Taylor
Unbelievably beautiful especially the improvisation
Keepin' it true, -w- Afro Blue!
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.
That looks like an iron burn, but great pianist
Nice interplay among all band members
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.
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

Cocoa hue
Rich as the night

Thank you
a love supreme ( no else needed)
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.
She's on a different level
We love Esperanza! Thanks for watching!
I love this performance of Afro Blue I wished they didn’t cut out Herbie’s introduction
Glad you enjoyed the performance!
Well actually, Robert Glasper, Jr. did a version of "Afro Blue" with Erykah Badu back in 2011 or 2012.
The bassist rocks
The oh-so gorgeous and sensational Esperanza Spalding. If I ever met her I would love to give her a hug!
We love Esperanza, too! Thanks for watching!
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! 🥰
Go Y'all ! L Hathaway was there in spirit!
Wow! That was really nice guys! Always nice to see a fellow former Berklee student living the life.
Hey, thanks!

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for your kind comment!
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
I'm totally amazed! To awesome!
First time I've ever seen her sing without her bass. It feels different.
Beautiful with or without her instrument. She is it in herself. Complete. And Doc on skins, exquisite. An masterpiece with RG⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
She's a favourite, love at first sight/tone, heard her for the first time at Nobel Peace Prize Consert, when Obama won the Prize in 2009, she was a favourit of him‼️The young girl was fantastic, have seen her in my town, too, and has a Cd wt her music‼️🎯💎🌹JazzyT.
The bass player is doing all the hard work, keeping the drive haha
Saw her with Femu Kati at DC Jazz Festival a few years ago in outdoor setting by the harbor. In red audience response🎹🎼🎼
She's real good. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Mongo Santamaría (music), Oscar Brown(lyrics), and Abby Lincoln (1st recording) - 1959, and the incredible interpretation by this all-star ensemble.
TLC groove so deep.
Agreed!
Kandace Springs rendition is on another level.
Hipping the Bop! Been listing this track for God knows how long now..Always sounds refreshing.

Mongo Santamaria and Oscar Brown
Born in Cuba, Mongo Santamaria is an Afro-Cuban percussionist who became an influential musician in the United States in the 1950s. His given name is Ramón Santamaría Rodríguez. Nicknamed Mongo by his father, Santamaria believes his nickname comes from the Mali people in West Africa. Mongo means the chief of the tribe. 2:39 [BlackPast]
@@GjaP_242 One of the greats and of course his percussion on the original is outstanding
I like how he is dressed the bass player, ahahah, may after concert is getting married.
How can I see them live? Together.
Schööööööööön
Danke!
How does Robert do it ?
Yeah seriously! 💯🔥
Son extraterrestres que vienen a vacilar de su talento musical a la tierra ........ luego , cuando se aburren de nosotros , simulan que mueren , se convierten en leyendas y vuelven a su planeta despues de unas vacaciones terricolas !
5:35
who is on the piano?
Robert Glasper mate, where you live?
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.
That's why she's there, she's the shit
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
This “hip-hop”…approach to jazz…with its grooves, sounds always the same to me 🤷🏻♂️.. please don’t slaughter me 🙏🏼 peace 😊✌🏼
Tastes like chicken to some.....
I think you're talking about the vibe that it evokes.. you could say the same of bebop, blues, reggae, electronic.. they kind of sound the same in a way, but there's a lot of improvisation, every performance is fresh.
@@juancpgo yeah Juan, each genre of music has its own sound. But I tried to listen to many things (…years ago I bought RG’s Black Radio vol1 and vol2)…and I really can’t feel, vibe with this mood. Many times there are just very few chords repeating over and over again. But, of course, there are very good musicians and improvisations…it’s just not my cup of tea 😉🤷🏻♂️
I suppose it’s like everything. When the genre speaks to you, you notice and enjoy the nuances, and when it doesn’t it just sounds or looks the same and therefore boring... It’s as if you like brunette women you notice how delightfully different they are, but if you’re into blondes then every brunette looks the same to you and can’t pique your interest.
Thanks for your comment, gave us a moment to ponder the genre. 👍🏼
You don't like it, I love it, just like smooth jazz
Who is the original composer of "Afro Blue"? I'll give y'all a hint; he's black.
That's the Maestro Mongo Santamaria.....!
He's cuban
@@wandajoseph3917 Well, he is "black", whatever his nationality, pero..él es Afro-Cubano. So are Celia Cruz and her husband (Pedro Knight ), Mongo Santamaria, Ibrahim Ferrer. What? So, because their language is Spanish, they are not black? Do some research on "rumba" and its origins. Same slave ships. Read more, please.
@@skineyemin4276 hey I know they're black, but if you ask them they'll say their nationality, not their color, only in, well mostly in USA, and you are a black American
@@wandajoseph3917 Yeah, but I've recently come to conclude that was most likely a survival mechanism, because the racism of the Spanish (directly from Spain) in its own way was most likely so much more ruthless, if that can even be measured. The black people who escaped or were supposedly free could not just run east to New York City, Boston or way west to southern California or even up to Canada, those black people throughout the Spanish colonies were more stranded or had geographically limited options, i.e., the ocean. That's just my own theory.
Spalding almost in pitched
What you mean almost 99% on
Not a fan of her Erica should have been there 🤷🏾♂️
So you really think Erica, who is love, rendition is better than Spalding
@@wandajoseph3917she can’t fuck with Erica on no level.
@@floydbibbs yes she can, Erica is more R&B, this girl is jazzy, Erica can't scat with her, she'll scat circles around Erica, and then beat her up with the bass
just think.....Esperanza Spalding and Kurt Eling scating together, now... that would really be grand !!
