About

'The Mosaic Project' sees Terri Lyne Carrington assemble an all-female cast that includes some of the most prominent female jazz artists of the last few decades: Esperanza Spalding, Dianne Reeves, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Cassandra Wilson, Patrice Rushen and Geri Allen amongst others.

For more than two decades, drummer, producer and vocalist Terri Lyne Carrington has crafted an eclectic brand of jazz that incorporates elements of bebop, soul, funk and much more. Since her debut in 1989, the GRAMMY-nominated artist has established a reputation for working with artists of varying styles and perspectives to create 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, which once again gathers a myriad of voices and crystallizes them into a multi-faceted whole that far outweighs the sum of its parts. "Everything about this recording is about making a larger picture out of many various elements", says Carrington, who produced the 14-song set. "I assembled several friends - most of whom I've performed with in the past, and all of whom bring their own individual story - to help me create the big picture. For as talented as each of them are as individuals, when I put them all together, I have a much greater musical story - one that can be told in an interesting and compelling way." Carrington believes the emergence of so many great female jazz artists is what finally makes an album like 'The Mosaic Project' possible.

Personnel: Terri Lyne Carrington (drums, percussion, voice), Geri Allen (piano, keyboards), Anat Cohen (clarinet, bass clarinet, soprano), Tineke Postma (alto, soprano saxophone), Ingrid Jensen (trumpet, flugelhorn), Sheila E. (percussion), Patrice Rushen (piano, keyboards), Esperanza Spalding (bass, voice), Cassandra Wilson, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dianne Reeves, Gretchen Parlato, Carmen Lundy, Shea Rose, Nona Hendryx (voice) and others.
