Editorial Reviews

The release of GRAMMY®-winning drummer, composer and bandleader Terri Lyne Carrington s homage to Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and Max Roach is scheduled to coincide with the 50th anniversary of their iconic 1963 Money Jungle album. Carrington enlists the aid of two high-profile collaborators keyboardist Gerald Clayton and bassist Christian McBride to pay tribute to Duke, his trio and his creative vision with a cover of this historic recording. Guests include trumpeter Clark Terry, trombonist Robin Eubanks, reed players Tia Fuller and Antonio Hart, guitarist Nir Felder, percussionist Arturo Stabile and vocalists Shea Rose and Lizz Wright. Herbie Hancock closes the album quoting Ellington, with observations about the role of music in society and the popularity of money versus the popularity of art.

Yet another face of the Duke

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

Duke Ellington was perhaps America’s greatest composer, building his harmonic sculptures atop a blues foundation, a structure that invites interpretive license. Drummer Terri Lyne Carrington more than obliges. Never a shrinking violet when it comes to covers (don’t miss her takes on Jimi Hendrix material on The ACT Years), Carrington addresses selections from the Ellington catalog with respect and aplomb. With support from jazz notables such as Gerald Clayton, Robin Eubanks, and Christian McBride, Carrington pushes the Ellington envelope, including such tangents as gutbucket country, street poetry, and excerpted historical speeches. The abundance of energy present in nearly every track makes the haunting longing of Clayton’s “Cut Off” that much more bittersweet in its rarity. Carrington’s Money Jungle is yet another face of the Duke.

Bravo! Well Done! Ellington, Mingus and Roach are Smiling!

Outstanding! Terri Lynne and her ensemble certainly captured the essence of the original CLASSIC collaboration (by Roach, Mingus, Ellington) while adding a thoroughly modern and unique touch to the arrangements. Great talent, well displayed on this CD...This is by no means a simple, copy-cat Jazz "cover" album; it is a thoughtful and wondrously executed fresh perspective on the original. Superb voices on display in this collaboration include Herbie Hancock and Christian McBride in the roles of Ellington/Mingus. Money Jungle is in my top 5 all-time Jazz Albums and I take very seriously any attempt aimed at imitating this Sacred Sound. TLC's Money Jungle avoids mere imitation by combining a brilliant interpretation with masterful execution of an inspired vision...I promise you if Money Jungle is one of your favorite albums, you will greatly enjoy this well crafted treatment!

This is a awesome Lady of Jazz! I am such a great fan Terri Lyne Carrington I don't know what to do with myself, she is so Beautiful and awesome. I have just about all of her CD'S and the ones I don't have is just a matter of time before I do. Her music just keep getting better with time and her beauty as well.

I never write reveiws. Not for anything. I'd been meaning to buy Esperanza Spalding's last release for some time. I did so and saw that others who bought it had purchased this as well. So I listened to the samples and on a whim bought this as well. The samples don't do it justise. I LOVE THIS RECORDING. So many great voices, poetry, unexpected turns and twists that don't feel contrived. My favorite recording in a long, long time. It makes me feel good. It excites me.

I was pleasantly surprised

Reviewed in Canada on January 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

I know Terri Lyne Carrington as more of a fusion player than a straight jazz player so it was good to hear she can swing.

I love the original Money Jungle record. I am a Max Roach and Charles Mingus collector, so I actually own 2 copies.And Ellington is great. Since I have been disappointed in the past by drummers trying to do Max tributes, I bought this with some trepidation.

Carrington mainly stays in the background.Even on the piece in the original which features Max, she does not solo. Maybe that is a good thing.

The band does a good job in getting the 60s feel of the original, though, of course, no one equals the original players.

But quite frankly, I didn't think it deserved any awards.

Ancora Blues

Reviewed in Italy on October 25, 2014

È davvero un modo molto significativo, colto e carico di suggestioni per passare in rassegna e sintetizzare più di un secolo di musica afroamericana. I brani, in cui trovano posto parlati dal suono radiofonico, cori al femminile o lo sgangherato skat di Clarck Terry insieme ai fiati o a qualche chitarra con accenti rurali, grondano blues in varie declinazioni e si susseguono con coerenza e coesione, sostenuti dal drumming affermativo, fluido e carico di groove della Carrington, di ascendenza dejonnettiana, affiancato dallo swing potente e trascinante del contrabbasso di Cristian McBride e dal pianoforte sospeso tra Hancock ed Evans di Clayton. Come dicono gli americani "highly recommanded".

Hommage

Reviewed in France on March 8, 2014

Cette fois-ci, Terri Lynne Carrington rend hommage à l'immense Duke Ellington. Elle prend, donc, la place de Max Roach. Money Jungle était en trio avec Charlie Mingus à la basse. Terri Lynne a eu l'idée d'y ajouter des cuivres, ce qui est un plus. Ce CD est indispensable.

HÖCHSTNOTE mit Gruß an Ellington, Roach und Mingus

Reviewed in Germany on June 21, 2013

RESPEKT!!!! Money Jungle ist eines meiner absoluten Lieblingsalben des Jazz. Dieses Trio (Ellington, Roach, Mingus) hatte einen dermaßenen Drive, das ist eine Sensation gewesen. Ich kenne und höre die Platte glaub seit ca 30 Jahren immer mal wieder. Nun wollte ich sie mir auf CD holen, Money Jungle eingegeben und komme auf dieses Album der Schlagzeugerin Terri Lyne Carrington. nie gehört. Viel ausgesagt hat der Standard-Text nicht, klar wird da jedes Album gelobt. Dann hab ich gegoogelt, und dann hab ich mal gaaanz schnell dieses Album gekauft. Man bekommt hier nahezu die komplette Money-Jungle geliefert, in einer atemberaubenden und super prdouzierten "Cover-Version". Ich bin sehr sehr beeindruckt, ist ja oft so, daß ältere Stücke neu aufgelegt werden, da fällt jedem Jazzer mal was ein, was er covern könnte. Aber dieses "Tribute" an eines der besten Trios des Jazz ist unschlagbar. Wer sich mal eine aktuelle Jazz-CD kaufen möchte, wer Ellington, Max Roach und Charles Mingus mag, der solle nicht lange überlegen.

Duke Elligton mis à la sauce moderne

Reviewed in France on April 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

Ce n'est pas péjoratif. Ce disque est un hommage au grand Duke. Seules 3 pistes sur les 11 de l'album ne sont pas des reprises d'Ellington.
Teri Lyne Carrington est batteuse. Ce n'est pas courant, mais elle s'y entend plutôt bien. C'est le deuxième disque que je me procure (le premier s'appelait Mosaic Project et rassemblait des artistes assez éclectiques d'où le titre de l'album). On y trouve des pointures : Christian McBride à la contrebasse, Lizz Wright au chant, Herbie Hancock, Clark Terry pour ne citer que ceux là.

Le son est parfait, il n'y rien à redire. Aujourd'hui les techniques d'enregistrement sont réellement abouties, et on est loin des approximations des années 70 (quoique certains labels comme "Blue Note" maîtrisaient déjà depuis les années 50 parfaitement la prise de son).

Pourquoi ce titre "Money Jungle"? C'est Duke Ellington lui-même qui donne la réponse : "There is hardly any money interest in art, and music will be there when money is gone". On ferait bien d'en prendre de la graine aujourd'hui...
