Money Jungle: Provocative in Blue is an album by Terri Lyne Carrington. It was released by Concord Jazz. It won the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.
Drummer Terri Lyne Carrington's album is based on Money Jungle , a recording by pianist Duke Ellington with double bassist Charles Mingus and drummer Max Roach, [1] which was released in 1963. [2] Her core trio for the recording included pianist Gerald Clayton and bassist Christian McBride. [3] Carrington said that she did not realize that her recording was made fifty years after Money Jungle, and that she had made the decision to do it about half a dozen years earlier. [4]
All but three of the tracks were written by Ellington. [3] Carrington's "Grass Roots" is a blues, her "No Boxes (Nor Words)" is a post-bop piece, [3] while Clayton's ballad "Cut Off" alludes to Ellington's "Solitude". [1] On "Rem Blues/Music", Shea Rose and Herbie Hancock read Ellington's poem "Music". [1]

The Down Beat reviewer wrote that the presence of guests reduced the focus of the album, and commented that the trio tracks were more successful. [5] The JazzTimes reviewer criticized as obvious the use of "money-themed sound bites by present and former presidents", but described the album as a whole as "wholly engrossing". [9] For AllMusic's Thom Jurek, the spoken sound bites were "an artistic, musical indictment of the pervasive corruption in Western capitalism"; he praised Carrington because she "reveals the pervasive nature [of] the blues in the original album's compositions and intent, and underscores how their importance resonates in jazz's present tense". [3]
All tracks were written by Duke Ellington, except where noted.
