Terri Lyne Carrington
Meet the artist
A drummer, composer and producer who brings together varied ensembles. Alongside her playing, projects involving women musicians and work in jazz education form important parts of her career. By shifting the weight of the beat, her drums give an ensemble flexible momentum.
Intricate details remain responsive to bass lines and voices. Her projects bring different backgrounds and timbres into dialogue through the compositions themselves. Strong grooves coexist with subtle textures. Creating room for others to be heard connects her approach to drumming with her work as a bandleader.
