Bones: Reptiles
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.

by Glenn Astarita
This is the second release by the experimental European trio, simply known as Bones. Led by bass clarinetist Ziv Taubenfeld, the program is mainly erected on fragmented motifs and variable currents amid false endings, and an aggregation of renewal processes. And it's an unrestricted engagement, as the musicians are afforded opportunities to expand and contract, while imparting a jaggedly flowing suite of subplots and operating as a cohesive improv unit. Indeed, the musicians are expressive but also work from semi-structured ...

by Alberto Bazzurro
Un trio felicemente strutturato, a nome collettivo ma il cui nume tutelare appare senz'altro Ziv Taubenfeld, autore di tutto il materiale proposto, ci si rivela in questo bel lavoro, fresco di stampa per i tipi della Leo Records. A differenza di una generosa fetta produttiva della casa russo-londinese, infatti, qui le strutture espositive sono ben presenti e avvertibili, con dinamiche piuttosto marcate e conseguente logica inclinazione a non perdersi in troppi fronzoli. Si parte su temperature piuttosto ...

Pete Magadini: Bones Blues

JazzWax by Marc Myers
The 1970s were a no-man's land for acoustic jazz. The rise of album rock, arena concerts and electronic instruments led to the growing popularity of psychedelic jazz-rock fusion and funk, especially on college campuses. Many jazz labels during this period tended to put much of their budgets behind the new forms, since they commanded the largest slice of sales. The siphoning of budgets and staff to the electric side meant that many acoustic jazz recordings tended to be rambling, boring ...

It is no exaggeration when Dave Hertzberg's Hearts & Bones claim that they are “Busting Out of the Gate" on their latest album, Don't Lose Sight of Your Song.

No doubt about it: This is a band with relentless energy, but also one with a keen ear for infectious melodies. Grubner's fiddling ...

Rush - Roll the Bones (Audio Fidelity Remaster) (1991, 2011 Reissue)

Something Else!
By Tom Johnson I have owned four copies of this album—that is to say, three versions of it four times. The first time was the day it came out, September 3, 1991, bought shortly after a college class got out, and then I drove quickly to a friend's place where she put up with me giving it a quick listen. And then, just a couple songs into it, the power went out. Time ticked by as we waited for some ...

Bones and Tones: Hip Percussive Afro-Jazz
Source:
Gapplegate Music Review by Grego Edwards
Bones & Tones (Freedom Art 52964) has something very good going on. Their first, self-titled album brings the effectively grooved percussion intricacies of M'boom with African elements and contemporary jazz. That is no doubt due to the talents and proclivities of the quartet: Abdou Mboup on percussion, vocals and kora; Lloyd Haber on marimba, bells, percussion; Jaribu Shahid on contrabass and percussion; and Warren Smith (a founder of M'boom among many other things) on vibes and percussion. This is a ...
