Terri Lyne Carrington is one of the most respected jazz musicians in the world. Her drumming career started at the age of 10, which is when she officially got her musicians' union card, and in the decades since, she's earned countless accolades, including four Grammys, a Doris Duke Artist Award and an NEW Jazz Masters Fellowship. She has performed on over 100 recordings and has toured and recorded with jazz legends, including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Stan Getz and Esperanza Spalding. In recent years she has turned her attention to correcting gender inequities in her field. In 2018 she founded the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice at her alma mater, Berklee School of Music in Boston. She remains the Institute's artistic director, ensuring that new generations of female, trans and non-binary musicians are welcomed to contribute their talents to the genre. She's also passionate about recognizing the contributions women have already made to jazz. To wit, she edited a recently published collection of music titled “New Standards: 101 Lead Sheets by Women Composers.” Alongside that project, she recorded an album titled “New Standards, Vol. 1” that features several compositions in the book. “New Standards” won Terri Lyne her most recent Grammy, and not surprisingly she plans eventually to record all 101 compositions. Terri Lyne also recently curated a multi-artist multimedia installation titled “New Standards” that initially opened at the Carr Center in Detroit, where she is artistic director. This interview took place the morning after the closing party celebrating the exhibition of “New Standards” at Emerson Gallery of Contemporary Arts in Boston.https://www.terrilynecarrington.com/

Tracy McMullen is a self-proclaimed maker-thinker. She's a saxophonist, composer, and an academic. In this episode, Tracy discusses jazz as a moral practice and how she uses music—jazz in particular—to teach anti-racism and inclusivity. Tracy McMullen is associate professor of music at Bowdoin College, and ACLS Frederick Burkhardt Fellow at the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice (through 2023). Her 2019 book, "Haunthenticity: Musical Replay and the Fear of the Real," examines musical performance and its relationship to conceptions of the past, history, and identity. She is currently researching her second book, "Jazz Humanism: Responsibility and Blur in the New Human."

Terri Lyne Carrington is a drummer, composer, and founder of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice. Her latest album is Live At The Detroit Jazz Festival, a recorded concert featuring Wayne Shorter, esperanza spalding, and Leo Genovese. On September 16, she will release the album New Standards, celebrating compositions by female composers, alongside a songbook and a multi-media exhibition. Carrington joins us to discuss her many projects. *This segment is guest-hosted by Kerry Nolan*

Terri Lyne Carrington has been playing and recording music in the company of rarified jazz talent for more than 40 years. A part of that career has been working in education, and beginning in 2005, the drummer began teaching private lessons at Berklee College of Music in Boston. In 2017, Carrington founded the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, a program at the distinguished school premised on dismantling a patriarchal system that's disenfranchised female and nonbinary performers. The first instructor hired was pianist Kris Davis, who became associate program director of creative development. At the time, Davis, an innovative improviser and bandleader, already had been at work providing a platform for unique performers through her nonprofit Pyroclastic Records. Both players have maintained rigorous touring and recording schedules, despite increasing academic duties. The drummer released Waiting Game alongside her ensemble Social Science in 2019, and earned a Grammy nomination for the effort. That same year, Davis released Diatom Ribbons through her own imprint; the album featured contributions by Carrington, as well as a wide swath of top-tier talent that otherwise might not have been gathered together on a single recording. In their discussion with The Best of Our Knowledge, both performers acknowledge inroads to some sort of parity in jazz and note that their students seem more open minded than members of previous generations. That said, there's still work to be done. Pertinent links Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice homepage Terri Lyne Carrintgon's homepage Kris Davis' homepage Pyroclastic Records

NEA Jazz Master and three-time Grammy Award-winner Terri Lyne Carrington was practically born into jazz, but she is not a traditionalist. By embracing elements from rock, rhythm and blues, and hip-hop into her own compositions, she is making music that is very much about the present moment. And in founding the Berklee Institute for Jazz and Gender Justice and now partnering with New Music USA on the new Next Jazz Legacy program, Terri Lyne hopes to build a future that dismantles the jazz patriarchy and eliminates the gender imbalance among instrumentalists.

Terri Lyne Carrington, founder of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, joins us to discuss a new program being launched this winter - The Next Jazz Legacy.

Drummer, producer, educator and 2021 NEA Jazz Master Terri Lyne Carrington is not only a virtuoso musician, she's also a strong advocate for social justice and gender equity on the bandstand and in the classroom.  Deeply committed to empowering the next generation of musicians, Carrington is the founder and artistic director of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice.  Carrington has spent her life in jazz. Coming from a musical family, she had her first professional gig at the age of ten (with Clark Terry, no less!). By the time she 11, she was a part-time student of the Berklee College of Music. And her career took off from there. In the 1980s, she worked with jazz luminaries like Pharaoh Saunders and Frank West; in the 1990s, she toured with jazz greats like Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock. She went on the lead her own groups, and in 2014, she became the first woman to win a Grammy Award as a leader for Best Jazz Instrumental Album with Money Jungle: Provocative in Blue. She brought together women instrumentalists and vocalists for The Mosaic Project tours and recordings. Her recent album Waiting Game with her group Social Science is the definition of artistic intersectionality in terms of race, gender, age, and style. In this podcast, we talk about her early mentors, her development as a drummer and as a bandleader, some of the great musicians she's played with, and her advocacy for gender equity in jazz and society.

“None of the jazz standards are written by women. Most of the band leaders aren’t. So, you have patrons, presenters, radio journalists… all people that are coming now more to a consciousness around this issue and I see it changing so I’m extremely hopeful but in ten years I would really like to not have to have an institute like this.” Founder and Artistic Director of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, Terri Lyne Carrington, speaks to the role of women in jazz.

Hola, bienvenidos a “Rocanrol Búmerang”, la historia del rock hispanoamericano. Hoy tenemos el orgullo de presentar a un gran artista hispanoamericano. Soy Félix Sant-Jordi y en compañía de Umberto Pérez, nuestro libretista, recorreremos los caminos musicales que han hecho de Pedro Aznar un músico maravilloso. Bienvenidos. Canción 1: LlueveCanción 2: StandEscuchábamos las canciones Llueve y Stand, del disco David y Goliath de 1995. Nuestro invitado en “Rocanrol Búmerang” hoy es Pedro Aznar. Un artista con la vida rodeada de música. A los siete años contó con la suerte infinita de que le regalaran Revolver un disco inmarcesible en la historia del rock, a partir de ese momento la historia de Pedro cambiaría y muchos años después agradeció a los Beatles con una inmejorable versión de la última pieza de Revolver. Tomorrow never knows apareció en su álbum Mudras (canciones de a dos). Escuchémosla. Canción 3: Tomorrow never knowsCanción 4: Fotos de Tokio (vivo)Fotos de Tokio es la canción que acabamos de escuchar, versión en directo de uno de sus primeros éxitos como solista, del disco Fotos de Tokio de 1986. Pedro Aznar ha caminado su carrera por la línea que divide lo comercial de lo vanguardista, sin que en ningún momento deje de crear arte. Sus años con Serú Girán fueron los correspondientes a la etapa estrella de rock y los siguientes a la etapa de artista consumado, reservado y dedicado a la exploración musical. Escuchemos ahora, de su disco Cuerpo y Alma de 1998, la canción Días blancos de primavera.Canción 5: Días blancos de primaveraCanción 6: Los chicos de la callePedro Aznar es nuestro invitado de lujo hoy en “Rocanrol Búmerang”. Escuchábamos la canción Los chicos de la calle, una hermosa canción. Pedro Aznar es considerado un músico genial y adelantado. Si a los siete años ya escuchaba el disco más vanguardista de los Beatles, a los quince ya era parte de Madre Atómica un trío en compañía de Lito Epúmer y Mono Fontana. Es allí donde empieza a desarrollar su particular estilo melódico y de improvisación en el bajo. Pero la vida de Pedro Aznar volvería a cambiar al escuchar al bajista de jazz-rock Jaco Pastorius. Escuchemos el tema instrumental Espejismo en la nieve.Canción 7: Espejismo en la nieveCanción 8: Si me das tu amorEscuchábamos Espejismo en la nieve, pieza instrumental grabada en directo con Serú Girán en de 1982, y Si me das tu amor, también con Serú pero diez años después. El final de Serú Girán tuvo mucho que ver con la realización de un sueño de Pedro Aznar: estudiar jazz en el Berklee Institute y tocar en el grupo de jazz-rock del guitarrista Pat Metheny a quien conoció en los días con Serú, en el Festival de Jazz de Río. Los años ochenta fueron absolutamente prolíficos y creativos para Pedro, además de Serú Girán, grabó tres discos como solista, tres al lado de Pat Metheny y uno al lado de su entrañable amigo Charly García.Canción 9: 30 denariosCanción 10: Rompan todoHoy Pedro Aznar es nuestro invitado en “Rocanrol Búmerang”. Escuchábamos dos magníficas canciones de Tango 4 de 1992, el segundo disco en compañía de Charly García. Primero teníamos 30 denarios, una hermosa versión de la historia de Jesús y Judas y luego escuchábamos el rocanrol Rompan todo para el que Pedro y Charly contaron con un invitado mítico en la voz: Sandro de América.
