Impressive homage Meshell Ndegeocello is on the rise. The multi-instrumentalist and neo-soul pioneer released her highly acclaimed album "The Omnichord Real Book" just last year. It won her the German Jazz Award for "Album of the Year International" and the Grammy for "Best Alternative Jazz Album". in 2024, Ndegeocello presents another work of multi-layered beauty with her new double album "No More Water: The Gospel Of James Baldwin". The starting point for the Berlin-born musician was the 100th birthday of the great African-American writer and poet James Baldwin. His themes such as racism and sexuality inspired Meshell Ndegeocello to create this intellectually and musically gripping homage. "No More Water: The Gospel Of James Baldwin" is a cross-genre collection of songs full of deep passion and equally deep grooves. Performed by absolute top musicians such as Justin Hicks, Kenita Miller and Jake Sherman. In addition, Jamaican poet and activist Staceyann Chin impresses with a powerful spoken word performance.
