Mads Tolling: A Cool Yule

Since moving to the United States from his native Denmark at the turn of the century, violinist Mads Tolling has blazed a brilliant path across the jazz landscape. Hired by bass legend and NEA Jazz Master Stanley Clarke straight out of Berklee (after graduating Summa Cum Laude), he relocated to the Bay Area when he joined Turtle Island Quartet, which won two GRAMMY Awards during his tenure.
