Avishai Cohen Trio
Friday, Feb. 8, 2008
Called a jazz visionary of global proportions by Downbeat Magazine, Avishai Cohen is a notable and powerful bassist and accomplished composer. His virtuoso double-bass playing and gorgeously projected sound (he switches to electric bass guitar for their funkier encore) lay at the heart of the music. Each one of them alone, and all of them together, create distinctive music of color and atmosphere, melody and improvisation, with Avishai beaming over the entire ensemble, using his bass as a leading instrument, but wonderfully open and communicating.
“There’s no way to reduce bassist Avishai Cohen’s music into tidy categories. Seamlessly blending Middle Eastern, folk, funk, fusion, and straight-ahead jazz – often on the same song – Cohen has fashioned a singular vision, and it’s a joy to experience.” Jazziz
