The Yarkon Trio (Yarkon Bridge Trio or Gesher Hayarkon)   •   Discography

The Yarkon Trio (Yarkon Bridge Trio or Gesher Hayarkon), was an Israeli vocal group which operated from 1963 to 1966. The group was established in 1963, when Benny Amdursky drafted Arik Einstein, and Yehoram Gaon to establish the trio. In mid-1965 Gaon quit the group to focus on his solo career and was replaced by Israel Gurion. After an appearance, in April 1966, at the Israel Song Festival the trio disbanded.

Later appearances included, the 1967 anthology Jerusalem Of Steel — More Songs Of The Six Days War, featuring the line up of Benny Amdursky, Israel Gurion and Yehoram Gaon; The Dudaim's 10th Anniversary in 1968 with all 4 members, Amdursky, Einstein, Gaon and Gurion, performing together. Their last appearance was a TV special tribute to Benny in 1993, "Rooftop Party with Benny Amdursky" with a performance by Benny Amdursky, Israel Gurion and Yehoram Gaon. Arik Einstein also appears on the special, but in a separate (solo) performance.
