jazzweek.com • July 13, 2005 JazzWeek 11 Mephisto (courtesty Shanchie Records) Artist Q&A: Meshell Ndegeocello

here’s no doubt that Meshell is a restless artistic soul. Since emerging as a new star in the early ’90s on Madonna’s Maver- Tick label with Plantation Lullabies, she hasn’t let the audience or her label pigeonhole her. Never was this more abundantly clear on her recently released The Dance Of The Inﬁdel, which featured an impressive cast of jazz musicians collectively called The Spir- it Of Jamia. Many will also recall her dropping by Ron Blake’s set in Syracuse even though her own gig was later that day a few hours away. Suﬃce to say, this woman lives to play bass. We caught up with her on the eve of her record release. – Tad Hendrickson continued ... jazzweek.com • July 13, 2005 JazzWeek 12 Artist Q&A: Meshell Ndegeocello (continued)

JazzWeek: You say that this music is in the spiritual groove, which theo- retically could be played by musicians who play in any number of different styles. What makes you think that jazz musicians are the best vehicle for ex- ecuting this musical vision? Meshell Ndegeocello: To me, any spiritual journey requires risk, honesty and a sincere searching. My choice of musicians is more about how they approach their playing, not what bin the record store puts them in. It’s not about ex- cluding any particular style: It is about finding cats who go out on a limb every time out, who are comfortable being naked and raw up there on stage, who “It would be a want to find something new each performance. That helps both the music and each musician grow. We become like a little crew of monks trying to reach mistake to look new heights. at this record as Did this record turn out as you originally envisioned it? a return or new My goal was to create a framework that allowed musicians to interpret freely and say something beautiful, funky, joyous, melancholy, prayerful.

I come from an African-American cultural context and cer- tainly the music that we call jazz is an expressive product of all the history, struggle and experiences of that context. So do I have a background in jazz? Ah, yeah! In addition my father is a jazz saxophonist. It would be a mistake to look at this record as a return or new attraction to jazz – if you go back to my first album you find Geri Allen and Joshua Redman as players; I have done tracks in the past with Herbie Hancock and Lalah Hathaway. So this is not a departure, just a natural progression. What are some jazz records that you love that influenced this project? I wouldn’t say any particular record, more so the approach of bands like Weather Report, the Headhunters, the classic Coltrane Quartet as well as the post-Quartet bands, and clearly the post-cool Miles Davis formations. I would say the biggest influence would be the freedom, the trust in what each player has to say, the insistence on emotion in the playing. You’ve spoken about how nice it is to be playing in a group rather than out front. Why not be star of the show, so to speak? That’s just not how I conceive of making music, especially live music; it is always collaborative, no matter who ultimately stands out front. Even Prince and continued ... jazzweek.com • July 13, 2005 JazzWeek 13 Artist Q&A: Meshell Ndegeocello (continued)

Stevie Wonder had to put together killing bands to go out live. But more spe- cific to this project, I am not a virtuoso bass player; I am sweating each night trying to keep up with my band. These cats are truly phenomenal and, even if I had that kind of ego, it would be ridiculous for me to prop myself up as the star of this band. Sure, I serve as a guide, I steer the general direction of the ship, but they paint all the beautiful scenery that we encounter on the journey. Can you talk about how this was recorded? We recorded the bulk of this album in four days in New York City. I would say 90% of it was just live tracking. We did have some horn over- dubs, mainly because of scheduling, and then the “Aquarium” track with Sabina was something that we worked on in pieces. It was wonderful because I am used to spending 3-4 months recording an album, not to mention the months of writing before hand. Here, I just gave cats these cells, explained the emotional direction and then pressed the record button! How fleshed out were the ideas you brought in? I came up with 1-3 minute cells that set the tone for the tunes. On a couple, I sent them off, like to Oliver Lake, Don Byron and Oran Col- trane, and asked them to write some horn parts which they then brought in on the day of the recording. Also, I worked with Michael Cain for a couple of days before the sessions on arrangements. It was wonderful to build a house like this. Is this record the first of ongoing series with these musicians or these kinds (jazz-oriented) musicians? One never knows what tomorrow brings, but I have really loved touring with the Spirit Music Jamia band, so I would love to do another project like this if they are down. I think the live experience has brought entirely new dimensions to the music we recorded and that we have found more of a musical identity over the last two years. The other wonderful thing about this band is that ev- erybody writes: Oliver, Michael, Ron Blake, I mean it would be wonderful to put together another project. It would be different and a great challenge.

builds on the work from that one. Is that an accurate assessment on my part? Thank you. If that’s what you feel, cool. I would like to think that my music builds upon my life experiences and therefore each album builds upon all the others. You just produced Ron Blake’s album and he plays on yours. What is your musical connection to Ron? I love Ron Blake! I think he has that rare combination of power and subtle- ty, emotion and technical proﬁciency, and he is also a wonderful writer. If you watch him live, he connects with everyone it seems, audiences just feel him, and that’s something that can’t be taught. It’s a gift. Ron and I met maybe eight or nine years ago and he said to me that he wanted to make some music together. I said cool and we ﬁnally got it together on this project. And then he graciously agreed to tour with the SMJ and while we were in Europe he asked me to produce his next solo project, which was absolutely a blessing. Matter of fact, that’s just what Ron is: a musical blessing. JW

Dave Weckl Band

Multiplicity (Stretch) ELECTRIC JAZZ CAN be a tricky proposition where players have to temper the wattage at their disposal with a strong sense of taste. Left unchecked, the music can become big, bombastic and wholly self-indulgent. Drum- mer Dave Weckl and his band (most tracks were collaboratively written by the band) strike a nice bal- ance on Multiplicity. Weckl, who is known for his work with 128003 CLIENTS 1 Chick18:43 Corea 9/24/02 among WV 110 DOLEV *128003* others, leads a quintet through tunes that range from the hard-hitting fusion of “Watch Your Step” to the moody and atmospheric “Inner Vision.” Generally re- garded as one of today’s great drummers, Weckl is all over his massive kit as he drives these tunes with harder style that is typical for a jazz drummer, but he never loses his sense of jazz swing or the funk groove on these tunes. – Tad Hendrickson Contact: Jane Dashow Phone: (212) 679-1445 Email: [email protected] Release Date: July 5 Add Date: July 11
