It’s not just her hometown New York that is captivated by her natural mix of jazz, klezmer and Latin. Since 2005 saxophone and clarinet player Anat Cohen has released four albums that convinced press and audiences throughout the United States. Jazz Times counts her among the stars of the new jazz generation, alongside Esperanza Spalding and Christian Scott. ‘Cohen makes it seem easy, mixing a gift for melody and improvisational fluidity that has few peers today’ (Downbeat). ‘Yes, she is the real deal’ (New York Times).
