Erroll Garner Uncovered

Terri Lyne Carrington on A New Kind Of Love

Terri Lyne Carrington and host Robin D.G. Kelley step inside Erroll Garner’s underrated opus, A New Kind of Love. Carrington is the only drummer to appear on the Uncovered podcast, and she brings her own nuanced perspective on Garner’s unique rhythmic approach. She and Dr. Kelley unpack the gendered complexities of the film A New Kind of Love, Garner’s process of arranging for orchestra, and the role their friend Geri Allen played in preserving Garner’s legacy. This album represents Garner’s only orchestral film scoring. Recorded separately, and in addition to the film score itself, Garner improvises alongside a roaring 35-piece orchestra.
