In this high-flying new recording, the GRAMMY®-winning Turtle Island Quartet draws an analogy to the visionary brilliance of Charlie Parker, who transformed jazz from popular entertainment into a true art form, while the ensemble pursues a parallel path in reimagining the traditional string quartet from the opposite direction. Central to the project is a newly commissioned work by Grammy-nominated composer David Balakrishnan, Aeroelasticity: Harmonies of Impermanence, which reflects the group’s ongoing commitment to expanding the possibilities of the string quartet tradition.
