Close Details Sunday, October 18, 2026 7:00PM Meshell Ndegeocello Meshell Ndegeocello Meshell Ndegeocello is a Grammy Award-winning artist widely credited as a pioneer of the 1990s neo-soul movement. Seamlessly fusing funk, soul, jazz, hip-hop, reggae, and rock, she has built a trailblazing 30-year career as a solo artist and a highly sought-after bassist, singer, and producer. With No More Water , Ndegeocello embarks on a prophetic musical odyssey that transcends boundaries and genres, delving headfirst into race, sexuality, religion, and other recurring themes explored in the celebrated writer’s canon. The prescience of James Baldwin is alive nearly forty years after his passing, a testament to his enduring impact. A prolific writer, his essays, novels, plays, and poetry have assessed and often reproached the human condition. As an activist, his oratory prowess in the 1960s was bar none, lending his outspoken views on Black oppression with profundity and eloquence. Born in New York City on August 2, 1924, this year marks the centennial of the eminent writer, a momentous occasion that is celebrated by the release of one of Meshell Ndegeocello’ s most intrepid efforts to date: No More Water: The Gospel Of James Baldwin . Following 2023’s The Omnichord Real 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 document that is as sagacious, unabashed, and introspective as Baldwin was in life. Co-produced by Ndegeocello and guitarist Chris Bruce, No More Water features some of the bassist’s frequent collaborators including Bruce, vocalist Justin Hicks, saxophonist (and Omnichord producer) Josh Johnson, keyboardist Jebin Bruni, and drummer Abe Rounds.
