Terri Lyne Carrington: Real Life Story (1989)

Terri Lyne Carrington's debut recording as a leader, Real Life Story, featured many of jazz's finest artists including Wayne Shorter, John Scofield, Dianne Reeves, and Gerg Osby.  The young prodigal drummer who joined the New York City scene in the mid 1980's  became known rapidly as both an impressive performer and a respectable songwriter.

On Real Life Story Carrington not only contributes vocals to her originals but beautiful intigrates a host of players into her unique blend of soulful funk, classic swing, and modern percussion with the lp of the impeccable Don Alias and Keith Jones throughout. ~ Verve Music Group
