Three-time Grammy Award-winning drummer, composer and bandleader Terri Lyne Carrington was born in Medford, Massachusetts into a jazz family and at age seven was the delighted recipient of her grandfather’s drum set. An obvious prodigy, Terri took weekly lessons from age 11 through high school graduation with the venerated drummer-educator Alan Dawson at the Berklee College of Music in Boston; after which she received a full scholarship matriculating and graduating from that institution. Terri’s friend and mentor, Jack DeJohnette, advised her to move to New York where immediately she was taken under the wing of the legendary trumpeter Clark Terry.
Within three years, she caught the eye of Wayne Shorter, which was revelatory. Gigs followed with luminaries Herbie Hancock, Al Jarreau, Stan Getz, David Sanborn, Cassandra Wilson and Dianne Reeves. After years of extensive touring, Terri relocated to Los Angeles, where she gained attention as the house drummer for the Arsenio Hall Show; then as the drummer on the Quincy Jones late night TV show, VIBE. Ultimately, she returned home where she received an honorary doctorate from Berklee in 2003 and subsequently was appointed to a professorship in 2006 that she holds to the present.
More recently Ms Carrington has pursued a successful career releasing seven albums as a bandleader and producer, including the critically acclaimed The Mosaic Project in 2011 with a myriad of great singers, including Esperanza Spalding, Dianne Reeves, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Cassandra Wilson, which won a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album.
In 2013, Carrington released Money Jungle: Provocative in Blue, her much anticipated homage to jazz giants Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and Max Roach that coincided with the 50th anniversary of the release of their iconic and provocative 1963 Money Jungle trio album. With this recording, Ms. Carrington made history, as she became the first woman to win a Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album. It is that Money Jungle project and its historical relevance that Terri Lyne Carrington brings to this South Florida JAZZ concert.

The 2015-16 Concert Schedule
Performances commence at 8:00 p.m.
February 13, 2016 – Antonio Adolfo - Hendrik Meurkens Brazilian Quartet
Decades of immersion in Brazilian jazz make vibes/harmonica virtuoso Hendrik Meurkens the perfect fit for the immaculate arranging and phrasing of pianist-composer Antonio Adolfo, who is no stranger to SFJ audiences. Authentic Brazilian rhythms and melodies are the hallmark of this band, which is made unique with Meurkens’ harmonica virtuosity. Samba jazz is what Meurkens has based his career on, although, quite obviously, it is not the music he was raised on in Europe. The band is exceptional for its lilting Brazilian sound and feel, which is so accessible to all audiences. TICKETS

March 12, 2016 – Joey DeFrancesco Trio
He wins every reader and critics poll for a reason – he’s the best! Joey DeFrancesco is the reigning king of the Hammond B3 organ – plus he sings and plays trumpet with his newest trio. A true prodigy, Joey grew up in Philadelphia playing the organ mentored by his father. He was a teen phenom (along with bassist Christian McBride) and was discovered by the iconic trumpeter Miles Davis who hired Joey at age 17. Soon he had a record contract and became a bandleader. He continues at the vanguard of the Hammond B3 organ to this day. TICKETS

April 9, 2016 – Lynne Arriale – Carla Cook – Grace Kelly Quintet
Celebrating Great Women in Music: “You Know How I Feel – The Music of Nina Simone, Abbey Lincoln and Joni Mitchell”
Pianist Arriale, saxophone prodigy Kelly, and blues-drenched singer Cook and their quintet are terrific! This band was conceived by Lynne Arriale to celebrate the great women vocalists in music. Carla Cook has the ability to convey the vibe of the named artists. An important element of the instrumental component is rising star Grace Kelly, a young and dynamic alto saxophonist who also is a sensational vocalist, as we have recently learned. This project could be a highlight of the season. TICKETS

May 14, 2016 – Kurt Rosenwinkel Quartet
One of the most influential jazz guitarists of his generation, Rosenwinkel, currently living in Berlin, Germany, brings a unique approach to composition and interplay with magnificent sidemen: pianist Aaron Parks, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Allan Mednard. Rosenwinkel was trained at Berklee College of Music and immediately hired by Gary Burton (who has a penchant for discovering the most important guitarists for decades). He played in several cutting-edge bands before becoming a successful leader. TICKETS

June 11, 2016 – Steve Turre Sextet – “The Bones of Art (Blakey)”
Steve Turre continues to win polls as a trombonist and several times on the seashells, as well, in the Miscellaneous Instrument category. The late Rahsann Roland Kirk, in whose band he played dating back to 1970, influenced him both musically and spiritually. It was Kirk who suggested incorporating shells into Turre’s musical arsenal.
A three-trombone frontline is featured in this thrilling tribute to legendary hard bop drummer and bandleader Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers of which Turre was a member. The band is composed of trombonists Robin Eubanks and Frank Lacy along with a driving rhythm section with pianist Xavier Davis, bassist Peter Washington and drummer Willie Jones III. TICKETS
