'Within This Stone' is the first live recording of Ziv Ravitz and Lionel Loueke, captured on December 12, 2021 in the Swiss community of Muri.

In a club in Muri, Switzerland, on December 12, 2021, the unusual arrangement of instruments and technical equipment marked the live performance of soloists Lionel Loueke (guitar, vocals) and Ziv Ravitz (drums). The drummer's seat was positioned close to the guitarist at eye level, emphasizing the visual celebration of their on-stage dialogue. This performance was significant as it marked the first direct encounter in front of an audience since the Covid-19 pandemic. Described as a 'musical painter' by mentor Herbie Hancock, Loueke and 'the pace-setter of the young Israeli jazz scene,' Ravitz, expressed themselves fully, alternating between unhurried and contemplative moments and utilizing the orchestration possibilities of their instruments. The result is the album 'Within This Stone,' capturing eight tracks of their dynamic and expressive free music. The live recording showcases the duo's ability to expand metric tracks harmonically and create musical subtleties in their improvised performance.
