ubassman Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Anyone else a big fan? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aRC3YY3svs&list=RD02Am-jcWcgeI8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aRC3YY3svs&list=RD02Am-jcWcgeI8[/url] Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Yep yep yep! I have her album on loop when doing diy Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I prefer her on upright but then again she is funky on the fretless! Quote
philparker Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Yes, I'm a big fan - the iTunes download gives you all the videos with the album and recently, on holiday, I was chilling out on my balcony with the videos playing on my iPad with the music streaming through Portable Bose system and that created a couple more fans as well!

fatback Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Oh yes, although my affections have since been transferred to the wonderful Linda Oh. Quote
timbo1978 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Bought her 'Esperanza' album purely on the album cover :-D. Luckily the music was good and have followed her career since! There is a great youtube clip of her playing in the Whitehouse, just bass and singing - really love it! Quote
fatgoogle Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) This is very cool.

philparker Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Radio Music Society - deluxe edition, with all the videos! Quote
geoffbassist Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I'm a huge fan. This is one of my favourite videos of hers. http://youtu.be/gPaxUZKkpsw Quote
jakenewmanbass Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I'm a bass player and my wife is a jazz singer... she's better than both of us Think she's a major talent! Quote

geoffbassist Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 What I love about he is that her playing is so individual. I think her singing must help as it just seems so natural, she really is the real deal. Quote
ubassman Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 Agreed ..she makes incredibly complex things look so simple and effortless. Most of us would be happy to just have her bass lines but to be singing like that on top as well ! Awesome stuff ! Quote
Kiwi Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Ridiculously talented...what's not to love about her funky stuff. She's a bit like a jazzier Erykah Badu on bass. Quote
Owen Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 She is quite obviously not a proper bassist. Singing at the same time? You know the bass police will be arresting her pretty soon. Quote

Was watching Richard Bona the other day and thinking about how singing bass players have obviously beamed in from another planet where everyone has two brains. I mean, play fair. Quote
ubassman Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 Is now a good time to mention that Esperanza will be at the Barbican in London next month? ....sshhh - dont tell anyone else till I have bought my ticket Quote

To sing that which one plays: great. To sing that which one isn't playing: enormous..! Wayne Shorter, to boot. OK then, respect. Quote
