Avishai Cohen Quartet

Once again, if the Art Boutiki is opening on a Sunday night, chances are it is for something special. This time we are proud to welcome worldrenowned trumpeter Avishai Cohen to our stage.

When describing trumpeter Avishai Cohen, The Guardian said every generation of jazz trumpeters revisits the legacy of Miles Davis in their own ways, but the Israeli rising star Avishai Cohens version of the journey has been particularly skillful. In 2017, a year after his impressionistic, award winning, and critically-lauded ECM debut Into The Silence, Cohens sophomore release for ECM Cross My Palm With Silver introduced audiences to a new collection of pieces highlighting his exceptional quartet.

Cohen is globally recognized as a musician with an individual sound and a questing spirit, an ever-creative player-composer open to multiple strains of jazz and active as a leader, co-leader and sideman. Aside from the acclaimed work with his quartet over the last several years, and previously his trio work under the moniker Triveni, the trumpeter has also recorded and toured the world as part of the Mark Turner Quartet, the SFJAZZ Collective, Jazz100 (with Danilo Perez, Chris Potter, etc.) Zakir Hussain, and the 3 Cohens Sextet with his sister, clarinetist-saxophonist Anat, and brother, saxophonist Yuval.
