The immensely gifted drummer Terri Lyne Carrington – NEA Jazz Master and 4-time Grammy Award winner – has worked tirelessly over the last decade to advocate for inclusivity in jazz. Carrington and her bandmates delve into the Grammy-winning ‘Best Jazz Instrumental Album’ New Standards Vol. 01, shining a powerful light on music from great women composers including Carla Bley, Cassandra Wilson, Gretchen Parlato, Abbey Lincoln, Eliane Elias and Marilyn Crispell.
“Carrington [has] phenomenal expertise and versatility as a drummer and composer, as well as [the] ability to lead and accentuate the talent she surrounds herself with” — NPR
“Putting her music where her mouth is, Carrington brings much-needed attention to the composing voices of women in jazz.”
