The Tal Yahalom Quintet plays as both a tightly knit chamber ensemble and an explorative, improvising jazz band.
Featuring a unique instrumentation of guitar, violin, cello, alto sax/flute and percussion set, the band performs all-original compositions inspired by contemporary jazz, romantic classical music, and various groove-based traditions from around the world.
The quintet has performed at The Jazz Gallery, SEEDS, Scholes Street Studios, Threes Brewing and The Neighborhood Church First Friday’s Jazz Series, and is set to release its debut album on Adhyâropa Records on March 21st, 2025.
With band members equally versed in performance, composition and improvisation, the quintet shapeshifts through a wide palette of timbres, roles and orchestrations, creating a sound completely its own.
The music often aims to create meditative and evocative spaces, both rhythmically and sonically, while balancing through-composed sections and intricate arrangements with diverse opportunities for improvisation and versatile interplay.
