Ancestral Memories is much more than a folkloric project. It captures the rhythms, melodies, and harmonies of the Caribbean, New Orleans and French Louisiana, re-imagined through 21st century aesthetics and a jazz sensibility. The Ancestral Memories Quartet features the extraordinary rhythm section of Terry’s brother, bassist Yunior Terry, and powerhouse drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts.

It’s rare to encounter a jazz ensemble of such complete musicality, where the inspiration and technique of each player are so finely honed, and yet ablaze with the freedom of real jazz energy and heat.

— To witness it is a total delight ! ! ! —
