BCA-011: Berklee Oral History Project

Established in 1998, the Berklee Oral History Project (BOHP) seeks to chronicle Berklee’s rich history from those who have lived, shaped, and defined it. In capturing the diverse experiences and perceptions of Berklee faculty, staff, and alumni, Berklee Archives seeks to document Berklee’s pedagogical contributions to music education, as well as the events and issues that have impacted the direction and identity of the institution. This collection comprises video interviews from over 100 individuals closely associated with Berklee College of Music and the Boston Conservatory, including faculty, staff, presidents, and alumni. Some early interviews also feature individuals unaffiliated with Berklee who were active in the Boston jazz community.

She describes Boston-area jazz clubs in which she performed as a young professional, the jazz-fusion scene in New York, her teaching philosophy, and the importance of mentorship to young artists. Carrington also talks about her production career, particularly her album Mosaic Project and the Dianne Reeves’ record That Day; directing the BeanTown Jazz Festival; and her involvement with nonprofit arts organizations such as the Little Black Pearl Workshop in Chicago.
