#395 D’Angelo and the Vanguard, 'Black Messiah' (2014)

I did not expect this to be as good as it was. After a 14-year hiatus, D’Angelo gave us the follow up to his breakthrough record, ‘Voodoo’ (basically his life unravelled and it took him a long time to get it together). D’Angelo himself covers most of the instruments, but it does feature appearances from Questlove and Pino Pallandino (as mentioned on the John Mayer review, he is one of the most prolific and recorded bassists of all time).
