Drummer and bandleader Terri Lyne Carrington leads an exceptional quartet with saxophonist Caroline Davis, pianist Orrin Evans, and bassist Matt Brewer.


Carrington—an NEA Jazz Master, four-time Grammy winner, and the 2019 Doris Duke Award recipient—is a former child prodigy who, at 10 years old, became the youngest person to receive a union card in Boston. While still in her 20s, she toured extensively with Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, among others. To date, Carrington has performed on over 100 recordings and 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, and Esperanza Spalding, among many others.


“Carrington crafts jazz materials with the expertise of the best arrangers, as well as being a percussionist of understated power,” reports The Guardian, while All About Jazz adds that Carrington is “a great rhythm master, equal parts intellectual Max Roach and physical Art Blakey.” All About Jazz also reviewed Carrington’s celebrated residency at Smoke, performing a Tribute to Roach, “We Insist 2025,” calling its “passion and focus… an early contender for standout jazz performance of the year.”
