------------- I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

Ouch!
OK, the clip you provided was alright, but I could only take about 20 seconds of the first myspace song.
It was one thing when the bass was out of tune, but the woodwind too, ouch! They sound very amateur.
Is this a real pro band that plays paying gigs and puts out CDs on a real label?

Bio
Zaviot was created in 1986 in Tel Aviv by Harold Rubin, Mark
Smulian, Tommy Bellman and Reuben Hoch. The group performed throughout
Israel and represented jazz from Israel throughout Europe. Zaviot
recorded 3 albums on Jazzis Records which featured guest artists
Christoph Spendel and Dave Liebman.
The group toured Germany and other parts of Europe during the years
1987, 1988 and in 1989 with the late saxophone great, Jim Pepper. Zaviot
appeared at Jazz Ost West, Leverkussen Jazz Fest, Nuremberg Jazz
festival to name a few.
Zaviot has composed all original material throughout the years. The
group features Harold Rubin on clarinet , a versatile artist who is
recognized for his paintings and architectural design. Harold is a
recent recipient of Israerl's respected Landau Award for musical
excellence. At age 75, he continues to charter new artistic territory in
both music and art.
Bassist, Mark Smulian received his education at the Mannes College of
Music in New York. He has developed a reputation as one of Israel's
great musicians and composers and is fully involved with music
production focusing on the ‘Wolrd Music’ scene. He is very active at his
Kfar Saba recording studio.

band in the world and many more…
Guitarist, Arli Lieberman at age 21 is the newest member of the group.
He fashions himself after guitarists the likes of John Scoffield, Jimmy
Page and Jimi Hendrix. This young player is well above his years and
shows great promise. He has contributed greatly to Zaviot's unique
improvisational approach.

a very strong musical force that looks forward to the release of a new
CD and touring.
