Turtle Island Quartet Comes to the MAC

Turtle Island Quartet brings “Birth of the Cool” tour featuring new arrangements of cool jazz standards that blur the line between classical and jazz to the MAC.In addition to performing their versions of classics by Miles Davis, Gerry Mulligan, Lenny Tristano and others, the quartet will premiere a brand-new work by founder and violinist David Balakrishnan. Called “Rebirth of the Holy Fool,” this work takes cool jazz as a starting point but borrows extensively from bluegrass, classical, jazz and Indian music – a work typical of the Turtle Island Quartet’s style, yet still utterly surprising and unexpected. Selections from the Turtle Island Quartet’s latest album, the Grammy Award-nominated “Confetti Man,” will round out the program. This performance is presented in partnership with WDCB 90.9 FM.

Performance Times:

• Fri., Feb 26 8 p.m.
• Sat. Feb. 27 8 p.m.
