Lyrical, energetic jazz by exceptionally talented trumpeter Avishai Cohen and his New York trio. ‘A devastating young band, it’s a complete package’ (Downbeat).

Jazz hero Enrico Rava calls him his favorite young trumpeter: Avishai Cohen, who must not be confused with the bassist of the same name, is increasingly recognized for his expressive, contemporary style. Last year he already sold out the Bimhuis. Before that he celebrated success here with The Three Cohens, with brother Yuval and his sister, the famous clarinet player Anat Cohen.

His New York band Triveni excels in high energy improvisation. Avishai’s music reveals he originally comes from Israel, a ‘crossroads between Eastern and Western music’, according to the trumpet player. On his sultry album Dark Nights (2014) he places his own compositions alongside odes to Ornette Coleman and Charles Mingus.

‘This is a honey of a record. It’s got everything you could want from a devastating young band: complete command, interaction dynamics, a sense of play and adventure, and a wonderfully surprising track list. Add to it Avishai Cohen’s penetrating voice on trumpet, and you need nothing more. It’s a complete package’ (Downbeat, ****1/2 review of Dark Nights).
