In exploring John Coltrane’s musical legacy, Turtle
Island String Quartet continues its own tradition
of employing the string quartet form to shed new light on the
timeless joy and beauty contained in the greatest music of the
American jazz masters. Their concert will present a look at
Coltrane’s landmark recording of A Love Supreme in the greater
context of the music that preceded and followed. “A unified voice
that truly breaks new ground…authentic and passionate…a reflection
of some of the most creative music-making today,” notes Yo-Yo
Ma. Turtle Island’s Telarc recording 4 + Four won the 2006 Grammy
for Best Classical Crossover Album. If you like jazz and you’ve
never heard Turtle Island, this is a concert you won’t want to miss.
