Tortoise + Minneapolis Jazz All Stars at Walker Art Center

“Tortoise is one of the rare groups that defy easy classification despite their status as founding fathers of the late-‘90s post-rock boom.” —Paste Magazine
Chicago’s indie legend returns to the Walker and joins some of the Twin Cities’ most influential
jazz and rock innovators for an exploratory collaboration in sound and form. Unique in the world of contemporary music, Tortoise is known for its boundless intellectual curiosity and unmistakable instrumental collage of jazz, rock, electronica, dub, dance, ambient, and minimalism. This 612-meets-312 experiment features gifted players, new ideas, and a remarkable shared musical vision. One show only: Dan Bitney, John Herndon, Douglas McCombs, John McEntire, and Jeff Parker, along with some of Minneapolis’ finest musicians, are featured in this singular performance.
