Seit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten hat sich die Schlagzeugerin, Produzentin und Sängerin Terri Lyne Carrington eine Marke im Jazz erarbeitet, welche die Elemente Bebop, Soul, Funk und vieles mehr verbindet. Seit ihrem Debüt im Jahre 1989 steht die GRAMMY-nominierte Künstlerin im Ruf, Formationen von Künstlern unterschiedlicher Stilrichtungen und Blickwinkel zusammen zu stellen. Obwohl sie sich an die Traditionen des Jazz hält, wird ein viel breiteres und vielfältigeres Publikum angesprochen.
Für The Mosaic Projekt hat Terri Lyne Carrington eine rein weibliche Besetzung zusammengestellt, welche einige der prominentesten weiblichen Jazz-Künstler enthält: Dee Dee Bridgewater (Vocals) / Nona Hendrix (Vocals) / Carmen Lundy (Vocals) / Dianne Reeves (Vocals) / Cassandra Wilson (Vocals) / Esperanza Spalding (Vocals & Bass) / Geri Allen (Piano) / Shelia E (Percussion) u. a.
Terri Lyne has recorded an ensemble CD with some of the world's top musicians, performing music that celebrates different aesthetics in music and in life. "The Mosaic Project" is a celebration of female artists with Terri Lyne being joined by some of today's most celebrated female instrumentalists and vocalists in the world, 'women with voices,' coming together to support and celebrate each other from a musical and social perspective.
Terri Lyne is joined by Dianne Reeves, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Nona Hendryx, Cassandra Wilson, Esperanza Spalding, Helen Sung, Tineke Postma, Geri Allen, Patrice Rushen, Ingrid Jensen, Sheila E., and Gretchen Parlato.
The CD includes music from several of the artists with instrumental and vocal tracks, commenting on historical and current themes / issues with the intent to offer an informative, enjoyable, listening experience, driven by creativity and consciousness. As with the mosaic art technique, the idea was for this project to vibrantly connect colorful pieces together to create something integral, using thoroughly composed song forms, some abstract improvising, and also the human voice - creating 'sharp shapes, with blurred edges.'
"The Mosaic Project" is a beautiful gathering of great female artists, yet the beauty is also in the fact that you don't hear gender. You hear many strong musical ideas based in jazz, performed on the highest of levels. For me there is magic in every piece because of the incredible line up of players and guest artists. Though it is my project, it is the personalities, the lives, and the talent of all of these women that make this project so special and indeed a group offering and unique statement we made together based on common, yet diverse, points of view.
These are my friends, mostly old friends, and some new friends ... and this is a mosaic of colors, shapes and textures, making a picture that I hope is informative and enjoyable to our fans."
"Mosaic Project" is cross generational, cross cultural and 'cross genre' in nature, which is pertinent because jazz has increasingly pollinated, allowing it's language to metamorphose into something one group of people alone cannot claim. (terrilynecarrington. com)
,,In 14 klanglich blitzsauberen Titeln zeigt die Damenband, dass die knackige Fusion keine Männerdomäne ist." (audio, September 2011)
,, ... eine Runde Sache." (Rolling Stone, September 2011)
,,Es ist ein bemerkenswertes Projekt, das Schlagzeugerin Terri Lyne Carrington (Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter etc.) hier in Angriff nimmt: Für dieses feine, groovige, mal latinmäßige, mal boppige, mal auch angefunkte Jazzalbum hat sie nämlich eine Alt-Female-Truppe aus ihrem Freundeskreis zusammengestellt, die es wahrlich in sich hat."
