Waiting game

Description

The long-awaited project from producer, drummer, composer, bandleader and activist Terri Lyne Carrington, one of the most respected artists in jazz. Galvanized by the drastic changes in the social and political landscape, Grammy-winning drummer, producer, activist and educator Terri Lyne Carrington formed her new band, joined by Social Science, to address a wide range of issues around social justice. The group’s first and magnificent double album immediately places it alongside Terri Lyne Carrington’s most ambitious and inventive projects. It expresses an inclusive and compassionate vision of the bonds that tie humanity together, all through an eclectic program blending jazz, R&B, classic and indie rock, free improvisation, hip-hop and contemporary classical music. One of the most important musicians, producers and activists in jazz and R&B music, Carrington was on the cover of Downbeat on February 19 for her advocacy for women in jazz and her new Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice at Berklee College of Music. Social Science is made up of a new generation of respected contemporary jazz artists - rapper/DJ Kassa Overall, pianist Aaron Parks, guitarist Matt Stevens, singer Debo Ray, and multi-instrumentalist Morgan Guerin.
