Terri Lyne Carrington is not just one of her generation's greatest drummers, but one of its most talented and inspired artists. True to its name, her 2011 album, The Mosaic Project, contained an ambitious amalgam of jazz styles and guest vocalists. Carrington's effortless ability to fuse the accessible with the intellectual tied the larger vision of the project together and helped her earn the first GRAMMY of her career for Best Vocal Jazz Album at the 54th GRAMMY Awards.
