In delicate remembrance of brothas James Baldwins memory and legacy as a freedom fighter Meshell Ndegeocello and her ensemble's performance was both viscerally and intellectually triumphant! I've wanted to see this beautifully awesome Blackwoman and her sonically soothing but furious talent unleashed live for many years now and the dear sistah did not disappoint! Treat yourself / loved ones to something splendid and just go. Just go.
