The Tal Yahalom Quintet celebrates the release of their debut album - "Mirror Image" (March 21st, Adhyâropa Records)
Featuring a unique instrumentation of guitar, violin, cello, alto sax/flute and percussion set, the quintet plays as both a tightly knit chamber ensemble and an explorative, versatile jazz band. With members equally versed in performance, composition and improvisation, the quintet shape-shifts through a wide palette of timbres, roles and orchestrations, creating a sound completely its own.
You can expect original compositions inspired by contemporary jazz, romantic classical music, and various groove-based traditions from around the world. Aiming to create meditative and reflective spaces for both performers and audience members, the music moves between through-composed sections and rich arrangements to various creative zones of improvisation and interplay.
LIVESTREAM TICKETS COMING SOON!
Exhibiting a mastery of both nylon string and electric guitars, Tal Yahalom delivers an imaginative and wide ranging set of original compositions. He has a pristine, soulful touch, immaculate technique, and great arranging skills. One of the most engaging guitar albums I’ve heard lately.
-- Ben Monder
Among the most uniquely gifted guitarists on the NYC improv scene.
