Info zu We Insist 2025!

1961 veröffentlichte Candid ein wegweisendes Album der Jazz-Legende MAX ROACH: „We Insist! Max Roach’s Freedom Now Suite“ feierte den 100. Jahrestag der Emanzipationsproklamation und fungierte als eindringlicher Aufruf während der Bürgerrechtsbewegung. Es war ROACHs Intention, ein unmissverständliches Protest- und Inspirationsstatement zu liefern, das in einer chronologischen Darstellung der afroamerikanischen und afrikanischen Geschichte präsentiert wurde. „We Insist!“ sollte sowohl musikalisch als auch metaphorisch als eine Art Bombe wirken, um auf die sozialen und politischen Themen der Zeit aufmerksam zu machen. 64 Jahre später erscheint, ebenfalls auf Candid, „We Insist 2025!“, ein mutiger Neuentwurf des wegweisenden Albums, präsentiert von von der Schlagzeugerin, Komponistin, Produzentin und vierfachen Grammy-Gewinnerin TERRI LYNE CARRINGTON sowie der Grammy-nominierten Sängerin CHRISTIE DASHIELL. Unterstützt durch viele Candid-Künstler, darunter Weedie Braimah, Milena Casado, Morgan Guerin, Simon Moullier und Matthew Stevens entstand ein großartiges „Update“, in dem Elemente aus Jazz, Gospel, Neo-Soul, Funk, Afro-Latin, Westafrika und Blues vereint werden. Eine mehr als gelungene Fusion von Tradition und Innovation, die sowohl die Vergangenheit ehrt als auch in die Zukunft des Jazz weist. Hervorzuheben wäre noch der Gastauftritt der Jazz-Legende JULIAN PRIESTER (tb), dem einzigen lebenden Musiker aus der ursprünglichen Aufnahme der „Freedom Now Suite“. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Terri Lyne Carrinton
Celebrating 40 years in music, NEA Jazz Master and three-time GRAMMY® award-winning drummer, producer, and educator, Terri Lyne Carrington started her professional career in Massachusetts at 10 years old when she became the youngest person to receive a union card in Boston. She was featured as a “kid wonder” in many publications and on local and national TV shows. After studying under a full scholarship at Berklee College of Music, Carrington worked as an in-demand musician in New York City, and later moved to Los Angeles, where she gained recognition on late night TV as the house drummer for both the Arsenio Hall Show and Quincy Jones’ VIBE TV show, hosted by Sinbad.

While still in her 20’s, Ms. Carrington toured extensively with Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, among others and in 1989 released a GRAMMY®-nominated debut CD on Verve Forecast, Real Life Story. In 2011 she released the GRAMMY®Award-winning album, The Mosaic Project, featuring a cast of all-star women instrumentalists and vocalists, and in 2013 she released, Money Jungle: Provocative in Blue, which also earned a GRAMMY®Award, establishing her as the first woman ever to win in the Best Jazz Instrumental Album category.

To date Ms. Carrington has performed on over 100 recordings and has been a role model and advocate for young women and men internationally through her teaching and touring careers. She has toured or recorded with luminary artists such as Al Jarreau, Stan Getz, Woody Shaw, Clark Terry, Diana Krall, Cassandra Wilson, Dianne Reeves, James Moody, Yellowjackets, Esperanza Spalding, and many more. Ms. Carrington’s 2015 release, The Mosaic Project: LOVE and SOUL, featured performances of iconic vocalists Chaka Khan, Natalie Cole, and Nancy Wilson.

In 2003, Ms. Carrington received an honorary doctorate from Berklee College of Music and was appointed professor at the college in 2005, where she currently serves as the Founder and Artistic Director of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, which recruits, teaches, mentors, and advocates for musicians seeking to study jazz with racial justice and gender justice as a guiding principles. She also serves as Artistic Director for The Carr Center, Detroit, MI. and for Berklee’s Summer Jazz Workshop.

In 2019 Ms. Carrington was granted The Doris Duke Artist Award, a prestigious acknowledgment in recognition of her past and ongoing contributions to jazz music. Her current collaborative project, Terri Lyne Carrington and Social Science (formed with Aaron Parks and Matthew Stevens), released their debut album, Waiting Game, in November, 2019 on Motema Music, inspired by the seismic changes in the ever-evolving social and political landscape. The double album expresses an unflinching, inclusive, and compassionate view of humanity’s breaks and bonds through an eclectic program melding jazz, R&B, indie rock, contemporary improvisation, and hip-hop.

Both Waiting Game and the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice point to Carrington’s drive to combine her musical talents with her passion for social justice. The subjects addressed on Waiting Game run the gamut of social concerns: mass incarceration, police brutality, homophobia, Native American injustice, political imprisonment, and gender justice.

“In previous projects I’ve hinted at my concerns for the society and the community that I live in,” Carrington says. “But everything has been pointing in this direction. At some point you have to figure out your purpose in life. There are a lot of drummers deemed ‘great.’ For me, that’s not as important as the legacy you leave behind.”

Waiting Game was nominated for a 2021 GRAMMY® award and has been celebrated as one of the best jazz releases of 2019 by Rolling Stone, Downbeat, Boston Globe and Popmatters. Downbeat describes the album as, “a two-disc masterstroke on par with Kendrick Lamar's 2015 hip-hop classic, 'To Pimp a Butterfly'..." Ms. Carrington was named as JazzTimes Critics Polls’ Artist of the Year, Jazz Artist of the Year by Boston Globe, and Jazz Musician of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association.
