MeShell NdegeOcello - Montreux Jazz Festival

And BTW, Ndegeocello (no H). Pronouced N-Day-Gay-O-Cello, meaning Free as a Bird in swahili. Just posting that for everyone else's benifit since a lot of folks seem to pronouce it wrong lol.

The Spirit of Music CD was ready for release about a year ago but the US label that was going to put it out (Verve) backed out at the last minute. Sunnyside will finally release it here this summer.

It has been released overseas, you can find import copies for about $30. I'll wait, thank you.

V talented player!! MeShell is one of the very few bassists who I instantly recognise when she plays!

all I've got is her 2nd record 'Peace Beyond Passion', but that's enough for me to say...

she rocks!!

Great tone and feel. An extremely funky player.
