The original liner notes of Adam Baruch:
Harold Rubin is undoubtedly one of the most interesting jazz musicians active on the Israeli jazz scene in the late 80's. He became known to the public as a member of the "Zaviot" group, but his true nature as an improviser is reflected much more clearly on this record, his first as a leader.

Since 1987, I have used every opportunity to make a recording with Harold, whenever studio time, money and musicians were available. We have tried to record musicians, who came to Israel in order to perform, and this record includes music captured on three such occasions.

The piece with Christoph Spendel was recorded during the sessions, which produced the "Tel-Aviv Connection" record. The trios were recorded during a tour in Israel by the "String Trio Of New York", of which Charles Burnham is a member. The two short pieces and the extended improvisation are part of the "Soviet Sessions", recorded when the Leonid Chizhik Trio came to perform at the Red Sea Jazz Festival in Eilat. The rest of the pieces are duos with Israeli musicians, which Harold likes to play with.

I love this music and hope you can love it too!
