Details: Product description Plantation Lullabies Amazon.ca Raucous funk, soulful jazz, hip-hop blues, the first album of this young African-American bassist does not fail to shake up well-established categories, a perfect illustration of what the Great Black Music appellation covers. Released on Maverick, Madonna's label, in 1993, Plantation Lullabies invites young jazz tenors (saxophonist Joshua Redman and pianist Geri Allen), fine triggers of eclectic rhythm'n'blues (guitarists Dave Fiuczynski and Wah Wah Watson), and a New York rap guru ( DJ Premier) to commune around a dark and haunting groove. However, the one whose nickname NdegéOcello means "Free as a bird" in Swahili provides the essentials of the instrumental and vocal parts like a great one, asserting herself from the outset as a strong personality with offbeat texts, favoring the off-screen straight lines of official discourse. With, at the key, an unstoppable hit ("I'm Diggin' You") and a ballad full of swing ("Dred Loc"). --Jacques Denis
