So, you don’t think cello has anything to do with jazz?

Then come and hear Tomeka Reid prove that her instrument can do it all! In her string-dominated quartet, the composer and arranger produces music «brimming with texture and captivating melodies» (France Musique), inspired by her years of training alongside the very best American improvisers. Taking tradition and reworking it for the better could be the hallmark of this well-rounded artist.
