TERRI LYNE CARRINGTON & CHRISTIE DASHIELL

Terri LynE Carrington: WE INSIST 2025! featuring Christy Dashiell

Four-time GRAMMY-winning jazz icon Terri Lyne Carrington and GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Christie Dashiell release “Freedom Day (Part 1),” their vibrant reimagining of Max Roach’s timeless anthem “Freedom Day.” The single highlights Carrington’s lifelong mission to champion jazz and advocate for inclusivity and raise the voice of women, trans and non-binary people in the genre. The single is out now via Candid Records, listen here.

“Freedom Day (Part 1)” is a dynamic tribute to the 1960 Max Roach and Oscar Brown Jr. composition, from the groundbreaking album We Insists! Max Roach’s Freedom Now Suite.  Written to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States, the album stands as a defining artistic statement of the Black American civil rights movement. With a career defining performance by the incomparable Abbey Lincoln, it is one of the most powerful and enduring statements of music as protest

The new arrangement breathes new life into the track, blending Carrington’s signature drumming and electronics with Dashiell’s soulful vocals and an all-star ensemble featuring Matthew Stevens (guitar), Simon Moullier (vibes), Morgan Guerin (bass, woodwinds), and Milena Casado (trumpet, electronics). The result is a dynamic interpretation that honors the original’s revolutionary spirit, while echoing a social justice message which remains poignant as ever today.
