The Dakota’s a great room for Ndegeocello, and she’ll be here for four shows in two nights. Her days of pop impact long gone, she’s matured into a sensitive performer of other peoples’ material—2018’s Ventriloquism focused heavily on ’80s and ’90s R&B. She returns to songwriting with The Omnichord Real Book, out this Friday, which features collaborations with top shelf jazz artists, including Jason Moran, Ambrose Akinmusire, Jeff Parker, and Brandee Younger.
