About

Galvanized by seismic changes in the ever-evolving social and political landscape, Grammy Award-winning drummer, producer, activist and educator Terri Lyne Carrington formed her new band, Social Science, to confront a wide spectrum of social justice issues. The band's stunning debut double album, I, immediately takes its place alongside Carrington's most ambitious and inventive projects, expressing an inclusive and compassionate view of humanity's common bonds through an eclectic program melding jazz, R&B, classic and indie rock, free improvisation, hip-hop and contemporary classical music.

    Nominee: Best Jazz Instrumental Album

November 2019

The idea was to explore freedom more broadly. Musically, it’s a highpoint of an excellent and, above all, important album.

December 2019

Waiting Game absorbs a lot of the Black Lives Matter movement’s simmering fury—as well as the #MeToo movement—and converts it into artistic fuel. Carrington concludes another triumphant year by releasing an utterly ambitious project, a recording that could be the best jazz album of the year.
