Yaniv Taubenhouse Trio featuring Rick Rosato (bass), and Jerad Lippi (drums) 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.

In addition, the trio has recently collaborated on an album with French jazz singer, Sarah Eden, which was released on Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd.
