She's a goddess.

She's lost me with all this theatre stuff.

Sorry. I preferred her being a musician rather than a "performer".

I just loved this. Brilliant effortless playing with some performance lunacy thrown in for good measure. Either way, what a talent!

isnt it just - love the video of 'One' too (sorry terrible pun i know)

watching this live show makes me want to see her do a collaboration with Janelle Monae

[ped]

Loved her Radio album but the newest one is a bit more all over the place but I'm sure it'll grow on me once I get more used to it. I really like her playing.

[steve-bbb]

had to sit and watch all the way through!

[chaypup]

That was an enjoyable Sunday Morning jaunt - thanks!
Wow.

[nobodysprefect]

I still prefer her to just shut up and play. But then jazz vocals are a non-starter for me.

[Cato]

After reading this thread I downloaded 4 Esperanza albums via Amazon Prime music.

Very pleasant indeed, think I'm probably going to buy the others come payday.

[bubinga5]

This is all very great , but when she picks up the Fender its just some great singing and playing. @ 6.00 minutes in. She plays Wayne Shorter's Endangered Species at 11 40. its absolute killer bass playing. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PKxZud0_yI[/media]

What's the background to this show? It's almost like a Sondheim thing. Very interesting.
