Esperanza Spalding - Emily’s D+Evolution

A very rich and rewarding listen for those that like a bit of a challenge. Or maybe if you’re a more traditional music fan that’s feeling adventurous.

In fact I’d say this is a pretty good starting point for anyone looking to get a handle on some of the melodic eccentricities of experimental and fusion jazz. It couches that weirdness in the pleasing structures of contemporary soul and R&B.

This is a full course meal of a record. There’s just tons of great stuff here. Hugely inventive and original - and strongly recommended.

Highlights: Unconditional Love • Rest In Pleasure • Funk The Fear
