DESCRIPTION:Praised by the New Yorker as “the most significant bassist th
 is country has produced since the advent of Charles Mingus and Flea\,” M
 eshell Ndegeocello makes her ArtPower debut with her GRAMMY-winning album 
 No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin.\n\nThe prescience of James Bal
 dwin is alive nearly forty years after his passing\, a testament to his en
 during impact. A prolific writer\, his essays\, novels\, plays\, and poetr
 y have assessed and often reproached the human condition. As an activist\,
  his oratory prowess in the 1960s was bar none\, lending his outspoken vie
 ws on Black oppression with profundity and eloquence. Born in New York Cit
 y on August 2\, 1924\, this year marks the centennial of the eminent write
 r\, a momentous occasion that is celebrated by the release of one of Meshe
 ll Ndegeocello’s most intrepid efforts to date: No More Water: The Gospe
 l Of James Baldwin.\n\nWith No More Water\, Ndegeocello embarks on a proph
 etic musical odyssey that transcends boundaries and genres\, delving headf
 irst into race\, sexuality\, religion\, and other recurring themes explore
 d in the celebrated writer’s canon. Following 2023’s The Omnichord Rea
 l Book\, her acclaimed debut for Blue Note Records which won the inaugural
  GRAMMY Award for Best Alternative Jazz Album\, the multi-instrumentalist\
 , singer\, songwriter\, and producer renders an immersive and palpable doc
 ument that is as sagacious\, unabashed\, and introspective as Baldwin was 
 in life.
