Since 2021 pianist Verena Zeiner and drummer Ziv Ravitz play together as a Duo.
Their first album The Sweetness of Finitude was released 2022.
For the upcoming album the duo's sound palette has been expanded to include strings and an electric guitarist.
The pieces on this album play with the combination of contemporary chamber music compositions and improvisation.

„VERENA ZEINER veröffentlicht mit „Radical Care” (22.5.2025) erstmals auf dem Schweizer Label Unit Records. Eigentlich eine Jazzadresse, aber ihr Album, das sei vielleicht gar kein Jazz, so die Pianistin. Was es jedoch sicher ist: ein Zusammentun mehrerer Menschen, allen voran Ziv Ravitz, der schon auf dem Vorgänger „The Sweetness of Finitude” hinter Schlagzeug und Reglern saß. Nun erscheint die Fortführung – eine wunderbare. Denn „Radical Care” ist tatsächlich so etwas wie Sorge, Fürsorge, das Sorgen um etwas und allenfalls sich selbst. Auch wenn es da bald schwierig wird, wie ZEINER im Gespräch erklärt.“
„Verena Zeiner about Directions in Jazz.
Faced with big, burning questions, Verena Zeiner accepted her responsibility as an artist – responding with radical care and a new-found musical freedom.“
