Menachem Zibziner

Menachem Zibziner is a guitarist, composer, and producer, and co-founder of the renowned Israeli Minuette Jazz Quartet, with ten albums recorded across different ensembles.

His guitar sound has drawn notice from the European jazz press, with Jazz In Europe describing it as “particularly notable, expressive and resonant.” He has performed and collaborated with Kenwood Dennard, Jay Rodriguez Sierra, Gilad Atzmon, Albert Beger, Yossi Fine, Asaf Sirkis, Yaron Stavi, and Doron Raphaeli.
