Residence, House & Net Worth
Carrington and her family used to live in a privately located property of 20 acres, including a five-bedroom mansion, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which was estimated to have a valuation of $8.5 million. It had a 7,526 square foot home featuring dark wood, neutral walls, wooden inlay ceilings, and even a grand office, plus a master bathroom with floor to ceiling vanities. It was surrounded by a large lawn, multiple lakes, and according to reports, $1 million worth in stone and iron fencing. The property has a guardhouse in front and is far from other establishments. People rarely spot the home and if they do, they’d have to cross a football field’s length just to try to get to the front door. The property was put on sale in 2010, and was quickly sold after going on the market.

1 | Just playing with a generation younger than me helps keep me current, and that’s really important. I learned [that] from so many great jazz musicians that I’ve played with. The great ones, they don’t want to keep going back to the past and replaying the same stuff they played. They’re looking for something new to do. |
