Avishai Cohen Trio
Bass Player Magazin declared Avishai Cohen to be one of the 100 most influential bassists of the 20th century; DownBeat Magazine called him a jazz visionary of global proportions. The bassist, vocalist, composer and band leader effortlessly fills the world's great concert halls. This appreciation is due to his unique music, his inimitable live performances all over the world, and his extremely successful CD recordings. All of them are characterised by Avishai Cohen's elegant, melodious jazz, so easy to listen to from start to finish, his stirring live performances, and the fact that he elicits a downright confusingly wide spectrum of sounds from his instrument when he plays the bass. Die Zeit magazine called Avishai Cohen one of the few jazz musicians who also appeals to non-jazz fans without pandering to the mainstream. His compositions are also a popular choice for film and other media soundtracks.
With the drummer Roni Kaspi and the pianist Guy Moskovich, two highly talented representatives of the young Israeli jazz scene belong to his trio, which Avishai Cohen re-formed in the past three years. They present themselves to their steadily increasing loyal audience in total harmony, and with an obvious enjoyment of performing together.
