Winners of a Grammy for Best Classical Crossover

Album, Turtle Island Quartet pay homage to

John Coltrane’s legendary jazz album, A Love Supreme,

during this spectacular concert. Recorded four decades

ago at a time when the country was deeply troubled by

issues of race and war, Coltrane’s music was a personal

 statement of redemption and salvation that struck

a chord in the hearts of millions, becoming one of the most

 enduring jazz recordings of all time.

Turtle Island Quartet continues its 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
