Fronted by acclaimed violinist Jeremy Kittel (formerly of the Grammy® award-winning Turtle Island Quartet), contemporary string quintet Kittel & Co. presents their debut album Whorls. Inhabiting the space between classical and acoustic roots, Celtic and bluegrass aesthetics, folk and jazz sensibilities, Whorls is an 11-track compilation of visceral, yet precise musicianship - accompanied on one track by the ghostly harmonies of Sarah Jarosz. Comprised of Kittel, mandolin phenom Josh Pinkham, guitarist Quinn Bachand, cellist Nathaniel Smith and hammer-dulcimer wizard Simon Chrisman, Kittel & Co. captures a sonic landscape that is equally as unpredictable as it is captivating.
