    Artist description
    One fine day five musicians got together in room #105, in the cold basement of the music academy in Jerusalem, and decided to play a few tunes together... Then they came back the next day and played some more... and some more... Ever since then they became Ensemble #105. This versatile group of Jazz musicians was born in the current form last year, when Pianist/Composer/Trumpet player Aviran Ben-Naim ("The Haifa Septet") started a group with Guitarist Assaf Levi and saxophonist Jay Gorensteyn, with whom he already played before, and the three were joined by bassist Gidi Farhy and Drummer Ilan Tsamir to form a quintet. Since then they have performed successfully in jazz clubs in Jerusalem and Haifa and recorded their first cd: "Just for Our Play", named after the title track by guitarist Assaf Levi. The power point of the group is probably it's versatility: each of the members came with his own style. Because of that the compositions on set of the band are so different one from another in style and in sound - it never gets boring!

    Artist History
    All of the band members are students in the Rubin Academy for music in Jerusalem, so - naturally - that is where they met. Aviran, Assaf and Jay started playing together a few years ago, but this band as it is on this record formed in 2002, in the midst of the academic year.
