The result of David's brainstorming explorations and compositional vision, Turtle Island has spent the past two and a half decades creating ingenious arrangements and originals that journey through folk, bluegrass, swing, be-bop, funk, R&B, new age, rock, and hip-hop, as well as music of Latin America and India. The quartet’s diverse works include over a dozen recordings (including A Love Supreme: The Legacy of John Coltrane, the 2008 Grammy winner for Best Classical Crossover Album), soundtracks for major motion pictures, TV and radio credits such as All Things Considered and Prairie Home Companion, and collaborations with famed artists such as clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera, guitar legend Leo Kottke, and the Parsons Dance Company. In their August 2010 release, Have you Ever Been, the quartet ventures to Electric Ladyland, tackling works from and inspired by Jimi Hendrix, including David's new composition "Tree of Life." As part of the Chamber Folk Series, a year long set of conversations with notable artists, we start off this evening with a pre-show question & answer session with the members of Turtle Island Quartet, moderated by Derk Richardson.
