It don’t know if I wouldn’t call it jazz since the genre has given birth to many sounds. It was definitely a progressive rock/blue grass sound. I thought it was pretty good.
If you take this recording for instance...

It has a definite progressive rock/jazz feel to it.
Artists such as Tony Williams Lifetime, Mahavishnu Orchestra, or Mary Halvorson to name a few could bend the genre to make the sound wanted. In Esperanza’s case while the album is good, I wonder how far she will continue to go in this direction.
