Press Quotes
“I first took notice of double bassist Avishai Cohen during a performance by Chick Corea’s Origin sextet at the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Hague. Cohen played in various formations led by Chick for six years, perfecting his skills and developing his talent. Later, I admired his fearless solos in the bands he himself led. He is a very prolific artist, regularly releasing his own albums — there are as many as 22 in his discography — and forming a new band every few years. Over time, his style evolved toward Middle Eastern rhythms and melodies, but he has continued to record jazz albums, remaining an improviser who attracts large audiences.”
“On Eternal Child, Avishai Cohen pays tribute to Chick Corea — his mentor, who helped him achieve a prominent position in the world of jazz. For his trio, alongside pianist Itay Simhovich, he invited drummer Eviatar Slivnik, with whom he performed in the group Origin. The title track, ‘Eternal Child’, is a composition by the legendary pianist. Corea once said: ‘Remaining an eternal child is the fate of many artists.’ Avishai took this saying to heart, and as proof, placed a photograph of himself as a child on the cover, showing the curiosity in his eyes. This quality drives his artistic activity and, as a result, gives listeners captivating music and exciting concerts.”
