Turtle Island, the double Grammy-winning quartet that has redefined chamber jazz for more than 25 years, is joined by the great jazz vocalist Tierney Sutton in a concert that answers the simple question: What inspires us? From the moving traditional hymn “Wade in the Water” to Joni Mitchell’s “All I Want,” to settings of Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” and words of Hafiz and Rumi, “Poets & Prayers” celebrates the muse in all its forms.
Vocalist Sutton’s celebrated career includes multiple Grammy nominations, appearances at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center and the Hollywood Bowl, as well as a series of well-regarded recordings. “JazzTimes” says Sutton’s brilliance is her ability to blend seamlessly.
