Media co-founder Terri Lyne Carrington today continues her visionary
musical odyssey by way of The Mosaic Project (Carrington's fifth album overall
and her first on Concord Jazz), her ambitious cross genre production featuring
some of the world's top musicians.
The veteran producer and composer is joined by Esperanza Spalding, Dianne Reeves,
Dee Dee Bridgewater, Nona Hendryx, Cassandra Wilson, Helen Sung, Tineke Postma,
Geri Allen, Patrice Rushen, Ingrid Jensen, Sheila E. and Gretchen Parlato, with
special appearances by iconic figures such as the legendary Angela Davis.
Since her debut in 1989, Carrington has established a reputation for assembling
artists of varying styles into an eclectic brand of jazz that incorporates elements
of bebop, soul, funk and much more. The GRAMMY®-nominated artist creates music that
adheres to the traditions of jazz yet speaks to a much broader and more diverse
audience. Carrington brings this same diverse sensibility to her new recording The
Mosaic Project, an album that once again gathers a myriad of voices and crystallizes
them into a multi-faceted whole that far outweighs the sum of its parts.
Carrington proclaims, "The Mosaic Project is a beautiful gathering of great female
artists. Though it is my project, it is the personalities, the lives, and the talent
of all of these women that make this project so special and indeed a group offering
and unique statement we made together based on common, yet diverse, points of view."
"A veteran jazz drummer with a knack for literate funk, Terri Lyne Carrington has
her fifth such album, "The Mosaic Project" (Concord), due out on Tuesday. It comes
with a strong concept: all the 20-odd musicians featured are women, from the pianist
Helen Sung to the percussionist Sheila E. The caliber of these artists speaks for
itself; there's no sense of compromise here, or of an agenda limiting the options.
And Ms. Carrington, who produced the album, brings accessibility and continuity
to the listening experience."
- Nate Chinen, New York Times

"Considering how much men dominate the jazz world, drummer Carrington's
Mosaic would be noteworthy just for its all-female assemblage of talent. But what
the 21 stellar musicians and vocalists have accomplished is a soulful, moving work
that would stand out regardless of the artists' gender. Carrington has blended the
skills of these wonderfully gifted performers and created something that is, as
Cassandra Wilson sings, Simply Beautiful."
- Steve Jones, USA Today
