The WDR BIG BAND joins Terry Line Carrington to perform her composition "Grass Roots" in an arrangement by bandleader Chuck Owen. Solos are played by Terri Lyne Carrington on drums, Paul Heller on tenor saxophone and Billy Test on piano. Produced as part of the WDR JAZZCLUB concert "Drummer Queen" at WDR Studios Bocklemünd / Cologne (March 2023).
In the Carrington house, music was in the air, and everywhere: the grandfather was a drummer with Fats Waller, the father played saxophone in James Brown's band. Terri Lyne Carrington began with the saxophone, but at the age of seven she grabbed her grandfather's drums - the starting signal for an extremely successful career as a drummer, composer and also producer. Carrington has worked with many prominent musicians over the past four decades, including Joni Mitchell and Herbie Hancock.
