    I've been studying music for a long time and one of the drawbacks is that after playing and listening to so much music constantly I lost the chills I get when listening to something outstanding.
    I got those chills 40 seconds in.

      Rodrigo Suarez yep
      Same for me
      Performed jazz and experienced music my whole life.
      Esperanza motivates a vocalization of "Whoooo!" As soon as the solo section ends...first chills I've had since I played regularly...unreal

    Such inspirational singing and playing. Very rare to see someone in such harmony with bass and vocals. The cadence is like that of a lively stream, hopping, splashing, coursing through a dreary day. I love the fact that Esperanza throws genres out the window but focuses on pure, heartfelt expression with a musician's voice that is truly unique.

    Jazz is makin' do with 'taters and grits,
    Standin' up each time you get hip,
    Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
    Jazz is livin' high off nickels and dimes,
    Telling folks 'bout what's on your mind,
    Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
    Trumpets, cassettes, slide trombone,
    Rhythm, makin' love,
    People wearin' fancy clothes,
    It's the voice of my people!
    For me, jazz is all the truth to be found,
    Never mind who's puttin' it down,
    Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
    Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
    Jazz ain't nothin' but soul!
    Chocolates, coffee, saxophones,
    Rhythm, makin' love,
    People wearin' fancy clothes,
    It's the voice of my people!

    Never mind who's puttin' it down,

      Maria Lisboa The word is "prejudice" (a bias) not racism (a system of control of a group). You need a physical dictionary before the 90's. Many words have been revised (like the bible).
      Anyway, that Hebrew woman and her crew tore it up right here. Yes they did.
