Episode #219
Vaults: Turtle Island String Quartet
Friday, August 19, 2005
Turtle Island String Quartet played live on this edition of New Sounds.
Regular visitors to New Sounds since the day the group was formed, the quirky, genre-blurring Turtle Island String Quartet stopped by for this edition of New Sounds. In this 1989 From the Vaults program, the Turtle Islanders talk about American painters, John Coltrane, and world domination with host John Schaefer. And - oh yes - and they perform some of the music that they were working on at the time, live in the studio.
