James Baldwin.
No More Water is a visionary work that is at once a musical experience, a
church service, a celebration, a testimonial, and a call to action. Meshell
Ndegeocello has created a prophetic musical odyssey that transcends
boundaries and genres, delving headfirst into race, sexuality, religion, and other
recurring themes explored in Baldwinâ??s canon.
Following 2023â??s The Omnichord Real Book, her acclaimed Blue Note debut
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 bassistâ??s frequent collaborators including Bruce, vocalist
Justin Hicks, saxophonist (and Omnichord producer) Josh Johnson,
keyboardist Jebin Bruni, and drummer Abe Rounds. Also appearing on
various songs are vocalist Kenita-Miller Hicks, keyboardists Jake Sherman
and Julius Rodriguez, and Executive Director of the NYCPS Arts Office and

word by venerated poet Staceyann Chin and Pulitzer Prize-winning author
