  “…the players came close [to Hendrix’s wizardly use of feedback and other forms of distortion] in “All Along the Watchtower,” a Bob Dylan song that Hendrix made his own. Just about all the details are in place, and much of the original energy is too…in a freewheeling solo-cello arrangement of “Little Wing,” Mr. Summer had the spotlight to himself. ” —The New York TimesThe Turtle Island Quartet has earned rave reviews for their jazzy take on traditional chamber music and their classical take on traditional jazz. The Quartet is a chamber string ensemble whose members have extensive conservatory training at renowned music institutions. They know their stuff, and their stuff has set them free. Now, they’re taking on: the music of Jimi Hendrix.
