$Micha\u00ebl Attias: Kardamon Fall$

Michaël Attias - saxophone; Santiago Leibson - piano; Sean Conly - bass; Tom Rainey - drums
Kardamon Fall, Michaël Attias' latest project, is a shape-shifting quartet operating in the special zone of overlap between contemporary jazz and Post-Romanticism— that moment when tonality breaks apart and radiates its strangest and most penetrating colors (Autumn reds before the atonal Winter.) The band features long-term collaborators Sean Conly and Tom Rainey (both heard, along with Ralph Alessi and Matt Mitchell, on Attias' 2012 album Spun Tree) and frequent partner-in-crime young Argentinian pianist Santiago Leibson.
Several compositions on their debut album —due for release on Out of Your Head Records in October 2024—are large multi-sectioned canvases that explore tones and harmonies on the verge of dissolving into pure color, pure texture. Other pieces are lighter and more tightly focused, weaving melody and pulse in a rhythmically agile dance. Expressing the bittersweet sweetbitter of things in transformation, ending and beginning anew, Kardamon Fall is acoustic music made by a real band with a timeflow that could not come out of any other moment than right now.
