Terri Lyne Carrington is one of the greatest jazz drummers working today, equally at home in acoustic ensembles and contemporary contexts. The Mosaic Project, released on Concord Jazz in 2011, is an ambitious gathering bringing together three generations of women musicians—vocalists, instrumentalists, composers. Carrington's vision emphasizes conversation and mutual respect. The music ranges from soul-jazz grooves to contemporary jazz exploration, with strong vocal presences balancing instrumental sophistication. Tracks like Magic And Music and Michelle showcase how these different voices complement each other. This is sophisticated, spirited music about dialogue and community. Essential listening for understanding contemporary jazz's inclusive future.
