A Swinging String Quartet
Quartet San Francisco is Jeremy Cohen's way of combining his two great loves in life: classical music and non-classical music. Their new project is Cohen's arrangements of jazz classics by Dave Brubeck. We'll stop in at a legendary jazz club in San Francisco, Yoshi's, to hear the Quartet San Francisco, play "Take Five." And Jeremy Cohen talks about the challenge of arranging and playing jazz for string quartet.
