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.
