Turtle Island Quartet and Special Guest Cyrus Chestnut

Making soulful and sweet connections that delve deeply into the jazz and classical traditions, Turtle Island and acclaimed jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut embrace a range of composers—from Jelly Roll Morton to Thelonious Monk. The collaboration draws a virtuosic line from the early roots of jazz directly to Monk, one of the geniuses of the modern jazz era.
