The Hampton String Quartet

James Manheim, All Music Guide wrote this: In the quite successful small industry of making string quartet versions of rock and pop music, the Hampton String Quartet has been one of the more durable players. Joining forces in the mid-'80s not long after the Kronos Quartet released its version of "Purple Haze," the members of the quartet were trained at The Juilliard School and have cultivated independent careers in the classical and soundtrack spheres.
