Terri Lyne Carrington: Trip the Night Fantastic Interview

Carrington has just released Trip the Night Fantastic, the second album from her group, Social Science. It’s built for the dance floor but unflinching on the topics of deportation, prison abolition, and climate collapse.

We talk about trusting collaborators before they’ve earned it, playing to a rare, fully attentive crowd at Newport, and calling herself a “frustrated drummer” on a record built from words as much as rhythm.

(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Trip the Night Fantastic, the new album from Terri Lyne Carrington and Social Science.)
