MADS TOLLING: New at ESC
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.
Tolling gathers on his ESC debut guest artists Stanley Clarke, keyboardist Russell Ferrante and vibraphonist Stefon Harris to explore a wide variety of styles, from a beautifully elaborate arrangement of Thom Yorke´s "Just", to a sizzling take on Led Zeppelin´s "Black Dog", to the Danish folk song "I Skovens Dybe Stille Ro."
The album is marked with virtuosic moments of sublime, genre-busting string work by Tolling, with stellar contributions by his guest artists and guitarist Mike Abraham, drummers Eric Garland and Jeff Mars, and bassist George Ban-Weiss.
