Blondino Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Anyone else been digging the new Esperanza Spalding album? If not, why not? I have a question. Since I get my music off iTunes these days, I have no idea who the personnel on an album are. I'm dying to find out who the guitarist is on the track "Smile Like That". Sounds like a young Allan Holdsworth. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBobTTD Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I've only heard (via YouTube) Black Gold which I found disappointing. I wanted to be amazed in a good way but was taken aback by how shockingly bad I thought it was. Lyrics, singing, music...not my cup of tea.

He has quite a distinctive tone, similar to that of John Schofield Edited April 6, 2012 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondino Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 I don't think it's him. It's a tall skinny white kid in the videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urb Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I really like her new album - Black Gold is one of the most pop orientated tunes on there, there are plenty of better tunes with great baselines and some cool vocals too - I'm annoyed I'm away when she's playing Koko in London in May as that should be a great gig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
