when you're:

 

> looking for that progressive rock album that defines the genre for 2016 rather than aping a 40 year old British stereotype

 

> hoping Tori Amos will find guitars and anger soon while at the same time figuring out she should be worshipping James Brown instead of Jimmy Page

 

> yearning for that Joni Mitchell meets Steely Dan thing by way of Prince sitting in with Pat Metheny

 

then you should pick up:

 

Esperanza Spalding - Emily's D+evolution

I first saw her at Jazzfest a few years ago, rocking a double bass and singing her ass off, but completely jazz all the way

 

fantastic

 

as of 2016? good lord

 

the new album transfixed me - and that's very rare and very exciting as a music fan

 

it took me two days just to wrap my head around the drum and bass lines

 

and when I was ready to take the songs on as a whole I was stunned to find they continued to deliver

 

I might be building it up too much but that's just because it's been a great listen, over and over - again, so rare to find for me with anything new
