Terri Lyne Carrington, a native of Medford, MA, developed a reputation as a child prodigy, jamming with Dizzy Gillespie, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Oscar Peterson, and many more. At age 11 she received a full scholarship to Berklee, where she played with Kevin Eubanks, Mike Stern, and Branford Marsalis, among others. In 1983 she moved to New York and worked with Stan Getz, Lester Bowie, Pharoah Sanders, Cassandra Wilson, and David Sanborn. Carrington later became the drummer for The Arsenio Hall Show, and the TV show Vibe. She spent seven years on tour with Herbie Hancock and has also toured with Wayne Shorter, Joe Sample, and Al Jarreau. In addition to being an in-demand side player and producer, Carrington has released the albums Jazz Is A Spirit, Structure, and the Grammy-nominated Real Life Story. Carrington has been a visiting professor in the percussion department during the 2005 – 2006 academic year.
