Free Jazz Concerts throughout the summer!

The Mads Tolling Quartet • Violinist / Jazz Fusion

Mads Tolling, internationally renowned violinist, violist, and composer, is a member of the two time Grammy Award-Winning Turtle Island Quartet. As a soloist, he regularly tours as jazz violinist with the acclaimed bassist Stanley Clarke and his touring band. In 2007 Mads Tolling started his own trio and immediately recorded the album “Speed of light.” The following year the trio expanded to a quartet. In it are some of the top Bay Area musicians, including Mike Abraham on guitar, George Ban-Weiss on bass and Eric Garland on drums. Mads Tolling Quartet has performed all over the San Francisco Bay Area and the West Coast including Yoshi’s San Francisco, Russian River Jazz Festival, Yerba Buena Gardens and Summerlin Library in Las Vegas. MTQ is touring nationally and internationally in 2011 in support of their release: “The Playmaker”, featuring bass legend Stanley Clarke and jazz greats Russell Ferrante & Stefon Harris.
