American Songbook I Note on the Program
Creating New Music the Mosaic Way
By Sherrie Tucker
Mosaic—an artistic work composed of many distinct components, each
selected and placed in dynamic relation to the others, with no piece, or
tessera, obscured by another. The same pieces might be rearranged, or
combined with others, to create different works. Each piece, and each
assemblage, retains its own integrity.
This evening’s program emerged from an extended set of works conceived
as The Mosaic Project by Terri Lyne Carrington. It’s easy to assume that
“mosaic” here refers to the artistic and cultural diversity of the 21 women
who appeared on the Grammy-winning first release by that name (2011).
The album’s artwork featured a photo collage of the project’s artists, including pianists Geri Allen and Patrice Rushen; reeds players Anat Cohen and
Tineke Postma; trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, percussionist Sheila E, bassist
Esperanza Spalding; and vocalists Dee Dee Bridgewater, Nona Hendryx,
Dianne Reeves, Cassandra Wilson, and many more. Carrington’s presentation of personnel was refreshing in a world where women jazz musicians
always contributed to the music, but were long ignored or forgotten, tokenized as exceptions, or perceived as novelties. In emphasizing mutual
respect among distinguished and well-respected players, Carrington loosened the grout around stuck notions of “women’s place” in (and mostly
out of) jazz, and emphasized a vision of mature collaboration that usually
gets reserved for ensembles of men.
In listening further, it appears that Carrington’s decision to make The
Mosaic Project with other outstanding women artists was not the only, or
even primary, concept driving the project. In the first album, as well as in
the more R&B and soul-inflected follow-up, Mosaic Project: Love and Soul
(this one with over 40 women musicians), she adopts the mosaic artist’s
approach of pulling apart and artistically resetting components into new
works. As a jazz drummer, Carrington had already been reworking patterns
to say something new for many decades. Each arrangement, each performance, each juxtaposition comprises a mosaic in a larger project. Along
the way, she shakes loose familiar performance tropes, genre silos, and
song styles. Freed from old patterns, the elements float, and soar, and
interact in surprising new ways. Love songs sit next to freedom songs,
songs of mourning edge on songs of celebration. The aesthetic is one of
welcome contrasts that invite active and joyful listening.
The Mosaic Project offers new patterns for presenting and understanding
jazz. Old routines of linear torch-passing and all-star jams give way to
musical exchanges among many great artists that emphasize interconnections of listening and sounding differently together.
American Songbook I Note on the Program
A hallmark of The Mosaic Project is its respectful inclusion of many strong
women singers, giving lie to the sexist and racist stereotypes unfairly hurled
primarily at black women singers as divas unwilling to share the mic. Of the
60-plus artists on the two albums, over 22 sing (some, like Carrington and
Spalding, are both instrumentalists and vocalists); Valerie Simpson and Oleta
Adams are two of the 12 featured vocalists on Love and Soul. Another of
Carrington’s skills is to program a set of arrangements with different vocalists
in a way that sounds like a larger whole, not a showcase or mixtape.
What does The Mosaic Project contribute to American song? For one thing,
Carrington is a masterful arranger with many musical influences spanning
straight-ahead jazz, R&B, soul, pop, hip-hop, and beyond. For another,
Carrington contributes new songs; she wrote or co-wrote half of the 12 songs
on the Love and Soul album. And she treats already great songs in surprising
new ways that maintain the integrity of both versions. I find myself re-loving
what I loved before in Duke Ellington’s wistful “Come Sunday,” while at the
same time delighting in the energy and joy brought forth by Carrington’s
mosaic of rapid rhythm changes and shimmering guitars, the soulful alto sax
invocation by Tia Fuller, and the lush, soaring voice of the late Natalie Cole.
The greatest praise for Carrington’s arrangements comes from songwriter
Simpson, who said of the new arrangement of “Somebody Told a Lie” (a song
she co-authored with the late Nick Ashford), “She gave it another treatment—
and that’s what a songwriter wants. It already exists in its old form, so why do
that again? She took it to a whole new place.”

Terri Lyne Carrington
TRACY LOVE
Meet the Artists
American Songbook I Meet the Artists
Terri Lyne Carrington is a Grammy
Award–winning drummer, composer, and bandleader. After a
touring career of over 20 years
with luminaries like Herbie
Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Al
Jarreau, Stan Getz, David Sanborn,
and Cassandra Wilson, she was
appointed professor at her alma
mater, Berklee College of Music,
from which she also received an
honorary doctorate.
In 1983 Ms. Carrington moved to New York, where she worked with artists
including James Moody, Lester Bowie, and Pharoah Sanders. She then relocated to Los Angeles, where she gained recognition as the house drummer
for the Arsenio Hall Show. Her Grammy-nominated debut CD, Real Life
Story (1989), featured Carlos Santana, Grover Washington Jr., Patrice
Rushen, and more. Other solo CDs include Jazz Is a Spirit (2002), featuring
Hancock, Gary Thomas, Wallace Roney, and Terence Blanchard, and
Structure (2004). Ms. Carrington’s production and songwriting collaborations with artists such as Gino Vannelli, Dianne Reeves, Siedah Garrett, and
Marilyn Scott have produced notable works, including her production of the
Reeves’s Grammy-nominated That Day and the Grammy-winning Beautiful
Life in 2014.
Ms. Carrington’s The Mosaic Project (2011, Concord Jazz) won a Grammy
Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album. She produced the 14-song set that
included some of the most prominent female jazz artists. Money Jungle:
Provocative in Blue, her homage to Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and Max
Roach, followed in 2013. Ms. Carrington made history when she became the
first woman to win a Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.
The Mosaic Project: Love and Soul was released in 2015. Like its predecessor, the album presents Ms. Carrington leading a rotating cast of superb
female artists. She also pays homage to various male artists who have influenced her professionally and/or informed her musicality, such as Ellington,
Nick Ashford, George Duke, Frank Sinatra, Luther Vandross, and Bill
Withers, with spoken interludes by Billy Dee Williams.
American Songbook I Meet the Artists
MAURIZIO BACCI AND BABALDI
Valerie Simpson
With her late husband Nickolas
Ashford, Valerie Simpson became
one of the most prolific and versatile
musical couples in recording history.
Combining skills as performers, songwriters, and producers, they created
an unprecedented catalog of charttopping hit singles and albums, collecting 22 gold and platinum records
and more than 50 ASCAP Awards.
The couple met in 1964 at the White
Rock Baptist Church in New York
City. Ashford had come to New York to pursue a dance career; Ms. Simpson
was playing piano and singing with the church’s choir. He joined the choir and
the two began writing pop songs for fun.
As staff songwriters for Scepter Records, Ashford & Simpson wrote Ray
Charles’s classic “Let’s Go Get Stoned” in 1964, which brought them to the
attention of Motown, where the duo wrote their second smash, “Ain’t No
Mountain High Enough,” for Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Other Gaye/
Terrell hits followed, including “Your Precious Love,” “Ain’t Nothing Like the
Real Thing,” and “You’re All I Need to Get By.”
Ashford & Simpson signed with Warner Brothers in 1973 as recording artists
and recorded eight albums, four of which went gold. Their numerous hit singles include “Send It,” “Found a Cure,” “Don’t Cost You Nothing,” “It Seems
to Hang On,” and “Love Don’t Make It Right.” In addition to their own growing catalog of songs, Ashford & Simpson wrote and produced for Ben E. King,
Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight and the Pips, and Quincy Jones. They rewrote a
version of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” for Diana Ross that became a
No. 1 single. In the ’80s, Ashford & Simpson signed with Capitol Records, and
their hit “Solid as a Rock” became a signature song. They also wrote the
smash hit “I’m Every Woman,” recorded by Whitney Houston.
American Songbook I Meet the Artists
Oleta Adams
Since the runaway success of her 1990
debut album, Circle of One, which
went platinum, and the impassioned hit
single “Get Here,” Oleta Adams has
inspired a growing legion of fans with
songs that draw deeply from her roots
in gospel, while crossing into the
realms of soul, R&B, urban, and popular music. Her success, nurtured by
worldwide tours with Tears for Fears,
Phil Collins, Michael Bolton, and Luther
Vandross, has been solidified by four
Grammy nominations.
This April Ms. Adams will release a new album, Let’s Stay Here, for which she
wrote most of the songs and produced. She has released seven other CDs, with
over two-and-a-half million albums sold.
A long-time resident of Kansas City, Kansas, Ms. Adams spent her formative
years in Seattle before moving to Yakima, Washington, where she sang in the
Baptist church where her father served as minister. By age 11, she was directing and accompanying four choirs on the piano. After some time in Los Angeles
in the early 1970s, Ms. Adams quickly became a local institution in Kansas City,
performing in piano bars, hotel lounges, and showrooms. Celebrities from
Eartha Kitt and Cab Calloway to Air Supply and Billy Joel caught her regular act
at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Finally serendipity came when Roland Orzabal and
Curt Smith, frontmen for the band Tears for Fears, asked her to appear on their
1989 album, The Seeds of Love, as well as on their European tour.

Composed with the concept of an “animal ballet”
in mind, Wynton Marsalis’ Spaces will attempt to

an essential aspect of both jazz music and natural
life itself, and two extraordinary dance geniuses
represent this connection in their work: Lil Buck,
a groundbreaking young artist recently seen with
Yo-Yo Ma, Madonna, and Cirque du Soleil; and
Jared Grimes, a quadruple-threat tap dancer who
in 2014 won the Astaire Award and choreographed on Broadway for After Midnight and
Holler If Ya Hear Me. They join the Jazz at Lincoln
Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis in the
world-premiere of this visually captivating performance.
