Avishai
Cohen "AT HOME" CD
About
the album:
At Home, Avishai Cohen’s sixth recording as a leader,
features eleven profoundly beautiful compositions including Avishai's
world smash hit ballad "Remembering", performed by Sam Barsh on piano and Mark Guiliana on drums, joined by
special guests Yosvany Terry, Anne Drummond (flute), Diego Urcola
(trumpet) and Jeff Ballard (percussion). “From the seductive
looping theme of Feediop . . . and the lovely, carol-like melody of
Madrid, the folk-dance theme and percussive intensity of Leh-Lah, and
on through furious piano improvisations [from Sam Barsh] against Mark
Guiliana’s fat-in-a-pan drumming (Punk), wistful brass
harmonies and airy flute ruminations (Meditteranean Sun), the music
is consistently riveting, but without eclipsing the ingenuity of the
improvisers. Avishai Cohen is back... “ John Fordham, The
Guardian (UK) On At Home Avishai is joined by two rising stars on the
international music scene, Sam Barsh (piano, Hammond B3, Fender
Rhodes, Melodica) and Mark Guiliana (drums, percussion), and is
joined on several tracks by the ensemble of Yosvany Terry
(saxophones, chekere), Anne Drummond (flute), Diego Urcola
(flugelhorn), Jeff Ballard (drums, percussion) and Tomer Tzur (hand
drum). At Home reflects on, and celebrates, places, people, emotions
and realizations that Cohen has encountered in his many sojourns
around the globe, all the while exposing the innermost jubilation and
contemplation of the bassist/composer.
Stuart Nicholson, commenting
on At Home, in Jazzwise Magazine Uk , said “for my money [it’s]
the most considered and best realised of all.” Indeed, Cohen
exposes his many gifts as a melodic composer, powerful soloist and
provoking leader, as never before, reflected in the brilliant
performances by the trio and ensemble. Whether in his adopted home of
New York City, in his native Israel, or on the road playing this
music (where he finds himself much of each year), Avishai Cohen is At
Home. The world of Avishai Cohen captured at home.
