TERRI LYNE CARRINGTON

摘要

Drummer Terri Lyne Carrington says she was haunted for years by Money Jungle, the 1962 recording by Ellington, Mingus and Roach. Her celebratory re-creation uses new material, spoken words to point up the message, and a larger group. But there is still a trio at the core. Pianist Gerald Clayton is scintillating, while bassist Christian McBride is muscular and commanding. He doesn't do Mingus's magical shimmer on 'Fleurette Africain', but this gets a new feel with venerable guest trumpeter Clark Terry scatting. Then 'Backward Country Boy Blues' has IMir Felder's Delta-style bottleneck guitar giving way to a dreamy soul groove.
