Meshell Ndegeocello on Forward Motion
from Soho Radio
In this episode, Soho Radio NYC's George Burton is joined by award-winning bassist and vocalist Meshell Ndegeocello. This is a snippet of their wonderful conversation - with music clips shortened right rights reasons - and we can't recommend enough the full-length show available on our mixcloud. Ndegeocello’s artistic genius has been long documented. So has her expansive scope. Funk, soul, jazz, hip hop, reggae, rock, and more all have a place in her music. As one critic noted, she even helped “spark the neo-soul movement.” Her wide range is evident in not just her music but also her conversation with George as it incorporates everyone from Stevie Wonder to Joni Mitchell to Ben Webster to Jason Moran. The dialogue also advances Ndegocello’s role as a philosopher. Time, in particular, takes on a central role in the discussion, whether Ndegeocello’s ability to use technology in otherwise idle time to create art or how now is the moment to change society for the better.This is the Soho Radio podcast, showcasing the best broadcasts from our online radio station in the heart of Soho, London.Across our Soho and NYC + Culture channels, we have a wide range of shows covering every genre alongside chat, discussions and special productions.To catch up on all things Soho Radio head on over to mixcloud.com/sohoradio or tune in live anytime at sohoradiolondon.com.This is a Soho Radio Productions Podcast.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/soho-radio.
