The Turtle Island Quartet is a string quartet from California known for its songs that blend rock, jazz and traditional classical music elements.

Balakrishnan founded the group in San Francisco in 1985, taking inspiration from his childhood influences Jimi Hendrix and the David Grisman Quartet. One of the first pieces the Turtle Island Quartet performed publicly was Oliver Nelson’s “Stolen Moments,” which was included on their self-titled debut album in 1988. The group was soon signed to Windham Hill Records, through which they went on to release seven additional albums by 1995. 

The Turtle Island Quartet rose to national fame in the mid-2000s, when their albums 4 + Four and A Love Supreme: The Legacy of John Coltrane won the Grammy Award for Best Classical Crossover Album. The ensemble has since collaborated with star artists including The Manhattan Transfer, Paquito D’Rivera and Edgar Meyer.
