Turtle Island Quartet, "Night in Tunisia" (Gillespie, arr. Balakrishnan)
Dave Balakrishnan's arrangement of "Night in Tunisia" was one of the first pieces ever taken on by the Turtle Island Quartet back in 1985, and has remained a mainstay of the group's repertoire. Here's a bit of a throwback featuring the current band members playing one of the quartet's original charts!
This performance features solos from Benni and Dave in addition to an improvised cadenza from Gabe and Malcom. Enjoy!
