Ziv Taubenfeld
Moving to Amsterdam has encouraged Ziv to inspiring collaborations with a wide variety of artists from the city's improvised music scene and it's satelite musicians. Taubenfeld's main musical vehicle for few years was Bones, a trio he co-lead with fellow musicians from his home town, Karmiel. In 2016 Ziv was offered a Carte Blanche at the Bimhuis, Amsterdam, and shortly after got the invitation to present the music of Bones at the North Sea Jazz Festival, July 2017. The third album of Bones- Reptiles- was released in fall 2019 on NoBusiness Records.
Taubenfeld's most recent project - FULL SUN - searches for a space that is timeless, a place where sounds talk of primitive existence. The musicians that form this ensemble (Michael Moore, Joost Buis, Luis Vicente, Nico Chientaroli, Shay Hazan and Onno Govaert) are all strong individuals with a sounds world all their own, sitting together at the round coffee table talking and laughing about the wonderous ways of life. Following their debut performance at the Bimhuis, Amsterdam, they are currently bringing their music to major venues and festivals across Europe.
Other bands Taubenfeld takes part in include Kuhn Fu, Plots, CosJazzul and Xavier Pamplona Ensemble. Recent collaborations include Han Bennink, Ab Baars, Guus Janssen and Olie Brice among others.

by John Sharpe
The barely-there pastel-colored turtle adorning the cover of Reptiles gives an elegant visual summary of the skeletal but attractive content inside. It's the third release from a young Israeli trio led by Amsterdam-based bass clarinetist Ziv Taubenfeld, which includes his fellow countrymen bassist Shay Hazan and drummer Nir Sabag. Recorded in November 2017 in Netherlands, the limited edition LP comprises three cuts written by the reedman, one collaborative effort, and three unaccompanied pieces named after the album title.
