  • Terri Lyne Carrington

    "MORE TO SAY (REAL LIFE STORY: NEXTGEN)" is Terri Lyne Carrington's third CD, and the sequel to her 1989 Grammy-nominated CD "Real Life Story." This collection is all about the groove: expansive, R&B-driven, and jazz-fueled.

    While many recordings in recent years have featured noteworthy side personnel handpicked by a record label to boost a CD's profile, on "More to Say..." Carrington performs with friends and colleagues with whom she has been working with in her 20-year-plus career.Joining TLC for the exquisitely produced More to Say is an impressive all-star cast of jazz and contemporary jazz instrumentalists, including George Duke, Kirk Whalum, Everette Harp, Patrice Rushen, Jimmy Haslip, Gregoire Maret, Christian McBride, Danilo Perez, Dwight Sills, Anthony Wilson and co-producer Robert Irving III.

    In addition, Terri Lyne enlists esteemed vocalist Nancy Wilson to sing another one of her tunes, "Imagine This," which she calls a "dream come true" session. She also calls upon Les McCann to sing a duet with her on the modern blues "Hold Me Again."

    Carrington has toured with Clark Terry, Stan Getz, Lester Bowie, Pharoah Sanders, Cassandra Wilson, Dianne Reeves, David Sanborn, Herbie Hancock, and was mentored by Jack DeJohnette. She was a member of Arsenio Hall's TV-show band, gigged in Wayne Shorter's group in the late '80s, and also has performed with Al Jarreau, Gino Vannelli and Stevie Wonder. TLC says she wanted to bring all parts of her musical personality to the CD. "The jazz legacy is so important to me, but I'm also in the groove tradition, where R&B, funk and hip-hop are important as well," she says.

    Carrington sums up "More to Say... Real Life Story: NextGen)" as "an honest and current depiction of the NextGen TLC... the me that's grown (and sexy), and ready to explore many new possibilities of these progressive and exciting times. I love Groove. I love Jazz. I'm hard, yet soft. I live on the edge and in the middle, with an open mind and heart. I've been loved by the greatest and misunderstood by many. But what I really want is for you to know me. This music is a doorway..."
