Terri Lyne Carrington’s Money Jungle: Provocative in Blue Album Release Concert at Berklee
Boston,
MA, Jan. 15, 2013 – Renowned drummer, composer, producer, and Berklee
professor Terri Lyne Carrington presents her new album Money Jungle:
Provocative in Blue. The album — to be released the week of the concert —
is the follow up to her Grammy Award-winning album The Mosaic Project.
The release of Carrington’s new album coincides with the 50th
anniversary of Money Jungle, a pivotal 1963 trio recording by Duke
Ellington, Charles Mingus, and Max Roach. Carrington wrote all new
arrangements of Ellington’s music for the album, which also includes two
of her original compositions. At the concert, Carrington will perform
with a trio and larger ensembles with Berklee students and guest pianist
Gerald Clayton, who is featured on the album.
