Meshell Ndegeocello’s new album after her internationally successful Blue Note debut “The Omnichord Real Book” (Grammy “Best Alternative Jazz Album”, Deutscher Jazzpreis “Album Of The Year International”) is an intellectually and musically gripping homage to legendary author James Baldwin and his topics such as racism and sexuality. "No More Water: The Gospel Of James Baldwin" is a genre-bending work full of deep passion and equally deep grooves and will be released on Baldwin’s Centennial: August 2, 2024. Features frequent collaborators Justin Hicks, Kenita Miller, Abe Rounds, Jake Sherman, Jebin Bruni, and Julius Rodriguez, as well as powerful spoken word performances by Jamaican poet and activist Staceyann Chin.
