Turtle Island String Quartet December 1, 2007

Founded in 1985, this highly acclaimed group has brought the string quartet into the new millennium and made the transition with ease. As Turtle Island redefines the format, charting musical courses ranging from jazz and pop covers to engaging original material, the quartet also seeks to educate and encourage others. Most often categorized as a folk guitarist, Leo Kottke and his music explore more than traditional harmony and rhythm. He often delves into the jazz and classical genres.
