New Music from Concord Music Group

"In February 1963, Duke Ellington released Money Jungle, a trio album employing fellow strong personalities Charles Mingus and Max Roach. The drummer and educator Terri Lyne Carrington is celebrating its 50th anniversary by releasing her rescoring of it. Christian McBride and Gerald Clayton occupy the all-important bass and piano chairs, respectively; they're joined by additional guests like Clark Terry (!), Lizz Wright and Tia Fuller."

"I try to reflect and do justice to all these people (re: Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Coldplay), no matter what genre I'm in. Just tell the story. Getting to work with Buble's touring band, who are incredible and made this record with me, some of his stuff ended up in there for as beautifully as Michael interprets a song, he's a great songwriter too. So, it all kind of came together."
