Yaniv Taubenhouse, piano; Rick Rosato, bass; Jerad Lippi, drums

The Yaniv Taubenhouse Trio is a contemporary jazz ensemble based out of New York City, formed by Yaniv, basist Rick Rosato and drummer Jerad Lippi. The trio comes from a long lineage of musical influences both in and out of the jazz world.

The group’s repertoire features originals by Taubenhouse, Rosato and Lippi as well as standards, with the on edge embrace of virtuosic chops, the tender love of melody driven ballads, groove oriented percussion, as well as a number of fully developed thematic suites more akin to traditional classical forms than jazz.

“Moments in Trio – Volume One” is the first one in a series of recordings of the trio and it was released on Fresh Sound Records on September 2015.

“Taubenhouse, Lippi and Rosato are clearly highly skilled in working together and keen to explore musical possibilities, tones and textures, but not at the expense of accessible, melodic and engaging content “ John Adcock, Jazz Journal
