ESPERANZA SPALDING - "BUT NOT FOR ME" LIVE @ Blue Note Jazz Club NYC 2.19.25

Esperanza Spalding, the great bassist/singer and all-around musician and composer performs the beautiful ballad "BUT NOT FOR ME" by George and Ira Gershwin LIVE at The Blue Note Jazz Club in Greenwich Village, NYC on 2.19.25. Esperanza shows her prodigious improvisational skills by taking this great "Gershwin & Gershwin" tune in many different lyrical directions! Pianist Fred Hersch also takes it "quite out there" in the middle! This is the 205th installment of my "Great Performances" series, where I upload my own personal LIVE footage from past concerts of great musical artists I've covered either through written articles and/or direct interviews. Read my upcoming article from the Village View about Esperanza Spalding's performance at The Blue Note coming soon. The link will be below.
