Terri Lyne Carrington, an interdisciplinary artist and NEA Jazz Master, is a multiple Grammy Award-winning musician, activist, and educator. Over the past decade, she has tirelessly advocated for inclusivity and amplified the voices of women, trans, and non-binary individuals in jazz. Her latest project, New Standards, is a groundbreaking endeavor that aims to showcase women composers in unprecedented ways. This fall, New Standards will be released as a lead sheet book of jazz compositions exclusively composed by women, an album featuring 11 selected pieces from the book performed by an all-star band and special guests, and a dynamic multi-media exhibition.
New Standard Ensemble includes:
- Terri Lyne Carrington, drums/band leader
- Kris Davis, piano
- Isaac Coyle, bass
- Matthew Stevens, guitar
- Christiana Hunte, dance
- Michael Mayo, voice
“Carrington [has] phenomenal expertise and versatility as a drummer and composer, as well as [the] ability to lead and accentuate the talent she surrounds herself with.”
