| Robert Landfermann Quintett debut album "Night Will Fall"  Much sought-after as a playing partner, bassist Robert Landfermann takes over the role as leader on his quintet CD Night Will Fall. Five masters of co-operation practice the art of empathy; saxophonists Christian Weidner and Sebastian Gille, pianist Elias Stemeseder, drummer Jim Black, and the subtle-toned bassist and occasional bass viol player form an alluring ensemble.Bassist Robert Landfermann is a musician who leaves a deep imprint wherever he lands. He has played with some of the most exciting top-level groups in jazz, including Pablo Held's internationally renowned trio, (newest release on Pirouet, Recondita Armonia, November 3rd, 2015). As early as 2009 the German radio and TV World Service found that, "with his amazingly flexible, self-assured, dynamic style of bass playing, Robert Landfermann is the man of the hour." He has received ample critical praise, and works with some of the best bands in the music, so it was definitely time for Robert Landfermann to record the Night Will Fall with his outstanding quintet. Often the cement that secures the foundation in other bands, Landfermann has also been a bandleader for some time, and has released some eight albums under his own name on the JazzHausMusik, PAO, Clean Feed, and Klaeng Records labels. This last is the label of the Klaeng Jazzkollektiv in Cologne a musician-run initiative of which Robert is a co-founder. On Landfermann's first appearance on Pirouet —and first time in this quintet formation—he displays his impressive qualities as player-composer.
