Discussing The Mosaic Project, drummer Terri Lyne Carrington explained: Theres
one part of me thats kind of a jazz head who likes complex, thought-provoking
melodies and harmonies, and then theres another part of me that really likes
funk and pop and things that are accessible. Of course, the two are not mutually
exclusive, and Carrington balances them with exciting results on this 2011
release. The Mosaic Project has one foot in the intellect and complexity of
post-bop and the other in the soulful, groove-oriented funkiness of R&B; both
are important parts of the equation for Carrington, who is joined by an
impressive list of guest vocalists that includes Cassandra Wilson, Dianne
Reeves, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Nona Hendryx (of Labelle fame), Esperanza
Spaulding, and Gretchen Parlato. Although The Mosaic Project has plenty of soul
appeal, that doesnt mean that Carrington tones down the improvisation factor or
offers note-for-note covers; interpretation, not emulation, is the rule on
imaginative versions of the Beatles My Michelle, Hendryxs Transformation, and Al
Greens Simply Beautiful, all of which Carrington successfully pulls into the
jazz realm. Those who are familiar with Hendryxs original 1983 recording of
Transformation (which combined funk and new wave) will be surprised to hear how
well the song works as post-bop on Carringtons very different version (which
also features Hendryx). Meanwhile, Parlato is featured on an R&B-ish
interpretation of Irving Berlins I Got Lost in His Arms, and Spaulding has a
delightfully capricious spot on her own Crayola. The Mosaic Project also
contains several Carrington originals, one of which is Magic and Music (a
poignant tribute to soul icon Teena Marie, who was only 54 when she died
unexpectedly on December 26, 2010). Magic and Music never mentions the Ivory
Queen of Soul by name, but Maries fans will have no problem figuring out that it
is about her (for one thing, Carringtons lyrics describe the singer as wild and
peaceful, which was the title of Maries Rick James-produced debut album of
1979). The Mosaic Project is not recommended to jazz purists, but for those who
like their jazz laced with big doses of R&B, there is much to savor on this
risk-taking album.~Alex Henderson
