ANNOUNCES TODAY'S INDUSTRY PREVIEW OF THE NEW WEBSITE OF PRODUCER & MUSICAL ENTREPRENEUR: TERRI LYNE CARRINGTON
(BOSTON, MA / WASHINGTON, DC) Hebert-Carrington-Media announces the industry preview of Terri Lyne Carrington's new website:
The new website is being launched to support Terri Lyne's new CD: "More to Say ... (Real Life Story: NextGen)", a vibrant and grooving concept album that is both a homage to classic R&B jazz ... and a look ahead to her vision of the future of mainstream jazz-inflected music.
For one week, the entire CD will be streamed for the Industry to experience in the manner it was created. Terri Lyne executive produced, arranged and wrote or co-wrote most of the 15 tracks.
The CD is an organically created concept album that encompasses a broad range of musical styles, including funk, silky smooth R&B, Neo-Soul, Latin, and classic jazz.
Terri Lyne says: "I am following up on my Grammy-nominated first CD: "Real Life Story," with more liberty to try some new music with one consistent quality: that the music feels good, that you can tap your foot to it, that it's danceable ... a groove record ... I wanted to create a sophisticated listening experience that cuts across musical categories. I also brought all parts of my musical personality to the CD to make it a look back to classic '70s/80s R&B Jazz and a look forward to what comes after Smooth Jazz.
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 ... (Real Life Story: NextGen), Terri Lyne performs with friends and colleagues with whom she has been working with in her 20-year-plus career.
Terri Lyne says: "I brought on board my friends George Duke, Everette Harp, Kirk Whalum, Christian McBride, Dwight Sills, Greg Phillinganes, Jimmy Haslip, Patrice Rushen and Lori Perry to contribute their sophisticated, soulful and funky voices ... Just listen to songs from the CD like 'More to Say,' 'Everyday,' 'Favorite Lullaby' 'Sherwood Forest', and Let it Be' ... I wanted that sound for this album. But I also wanted to add a different aesthetic to the mix, which is why I enlisted Danilo Perez and asked Anthony Wilson to join after recording with him for Diana Krall."
In addition, Terri Lyne enlists esteemed vocalists Nancy Wilson and Les McCann - two legends that she has known since childhood - to sing on her album. Wilson joins Terri Lyne on 'Imagine This.' Terri Lyne calls it a "dream come true" session for her. "If someone had said to me that Nancy Wilson would sing a lyric I wrote on my next CD, I probably wouldn't have believed them," she says. McCann sings a duet with Terri Lyne on the modern blues 'Hold Me Again.' "I used to sit in with Les when he would come to Boston. He was always very supportive, and I love his voice and his music because it is so soulful. The jazz legacy is so important to me, but I'm also a part of the groove tradition, where R&B, funk and hip-hop are important as well."
UPCOMING!
Next week, Hebert-Carrington-Media will formally launch Terri Lyne's site, and also will launch its ground-breaking digital marketing and media distribution platform.
