Statunitense, classe 1965, Terri Lyne Carrington non necessita di presentazioni: batterista jazz, songwriter, docente del Berklee Institute e vincitrice di 3 Grammy nella categoria “Best jazz Instrumental Album”, vanta nel suo palmares album a suo nome e registrazioni e tour accanto a Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, YellowJackets, giusto per fare nomi.
“New Standards, Vol 1” è l’album che fa parte di un progetto ambizioso: creare alternative capaci di affiancarsi agli standard jazz accettati da sempre, divenendo nuovo materiale sempreverde da studiare e suonare. Supportato dal Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, il progetto della Carrington nato nel 2018, si compone ora dell’album “New Standards, Vol 1” (in uscita il 16 settembre 2022 su Candid Records) che raccoglie le registrazioni delle 11 tracce che fanno capo a “New Standards: 101 Lead Sheets by Women Composer”, il libro in uscita il 15 settembre 2022 su Hal Leonard. Nella tracklist, una composizione del 1922 di Lil Hardin Armstrong, e composizioni del 2021 di alcuni degli artisti emergenti raccolti nel progetto.
