A concert this Friday by San Francisco’s Turtle Island Quartet will allow San Antonio music fans to celebrate the centennial birthdays of two jazz icons, Miles Davis and John Coltrane.
Booked for the Carver Community Cultural Center, the string quartet will perform Shades of Blue, its Grammy award-winning interpretations of Davis’ and Coltrane’s masterpieces — original works that both honor and explore these icons’ vast legacies.
Led by composer and violinist David Balakrishnan, the quartet formed in 1985, integrating stylistic elements of jazz, classical, folk and Indian classical music.
Turtle Island’s is a unique offering — an ever-changing tribute to jazz legends that also documents the quartet’s own creative evolution.
$48.30, 8-10 p.m. Friday, March 6, Carver Community Cultural Center, 226 N. Hackberry St., (210) 207-2234, thecarver.org.
