Terri Lyne Carrington's recent tribute album, 'We Insist 2025!', revisits Max Roach's influential work while highlighting ongoing social issues like racism and inequality. Despite the passing of time, Carrington reflects on the continued relevance of protest music, acknowledging the frustrations surrounding the slow progress of social justice since Roach's original 1961 album. As both a musician and educator, she emphasizes passing the responsibility of advocacy to the younger generation, recognizing their passion and commitment to effect change amidst a turbulent socio-political landscape.
Wow, I can't believe that this stuff is still relevant. When we look at these examples of how things have shifted in some ways, but not in other ways, it can be very depressing, especially right now.
I do feel like it's a youthful game. I've done it, I've been there, I'm tired... I'm relying on the younger generation and how pissed off I know they are.
