Celebrating Svend Asmussen at 101 – Den internationalt anerkendte violinist Mads Tolling, der har vundet to Grammy Awards, hylder med sin kvartet jazzviolisten Svend Asmussens 101 års fødselsdag. Tolling var 14 år, da han første gang lyttede til Svend Asmussen ved en koncert, hvor den unge guitarist Jacob Fischer var med i Asmussens kvartet. Lidt efter ringede Tolling til Asmussen, og de har holdt kontakten siden da. Nu næsten 20 år senere har Tolling og Fischer fundet sammen på scenen for at ære deres mentor. Sammen med Mathias Petri og Andreas Svendsen vil de fremføre Asmussens ældre og nyere melodier samt et par af Tolling og Fischers egne kompositioner.
