What they are saying in the international press about: ‘Shifting Sands’
|
Auch wenn Kontrabassist Avishai Cohen den Pianisten Elchin Shirinov und die Schlagzeugerin Roni Kaspi erst für ‘Shifting Sands’ gefunden hat, klingt das neue Trio, als würde man sich seit Jahrzehnten kennen-und bling vertrauen.
|
Allein der eröffnende Schlüsseltrack ‘Intertwined’, der sich als dunkelfunkelndes Epos mit prägnantem Basslauf, prächtigen Pianosoli und, gegen ein allzu wohliges Einrichten in dieser Klanglandschaft, auch komplexen Klapper Rhythmen präsentiert, nimmt die hochverdichtete Energie des Albums in a nutshell vorweg: Ob das chromatisch reduzierte ‘Dvash’, dem ein taktverchleppendes Metronom innezuwohnen scheint, der volksliedhafte Loop van ‘Joy’ der zum brillanten Virtuosenstück des Klaviers gerät, das Seelenruhe bringende ‘Shifting Sands’, das sich harmlos anpirschende ‘Cha Cha Rom’, das in seinem Verlauf mit seinem jede einzelne Note akzentuierten Détaché begeistert, oder das alles in bittersüßer Glückseligkeit auflösende ‘Hitragut’ -all die vorwärtstreibende Energie steuert auf ‘Videogame’ als Klimax zu n das den Flug über prachtvoll glitzernde, waldgesäumte Stromschnellen des Anfangs aufnimmt und abschliesst. Da möchte einem der Closer ‘Kinderblock’, der so gar nichts mehr von der funkelnden Trio Energie verströmt, wie ein – herzlich überflüssiger – Bonustrack erscheinen, der den dichten Flow der Platte ruiniert- bis sich nach drei Minuten ein von Schlagzeugbesen sekundierter Cohen suchend, tastend, fragend einem offenen Ende nähert, was den unnahbaren Bassgott mit einem Mal fragil, menschlich und damit unglaublich sympathisch macht
Jazzthetik 5 /5 stars

One of the most impressive things about this this exceptional record is how much masterful mileage each member gets from a relatively small number of notes or beats. Top rank creativity, aptitude, and technique are some other things that make for musical success. There is an abundance of all that and more to be found in this new trio.
Avishai Cohen: Shifting Sands – Album Review All About Jazz – USA
|
Zo ontspannen en tegelijk meeslepend als hier gespeeld wordt, dat is Cohen op z’n best.
De Volkskrant 4/5 stars
|
‘Avishai Cohen has become a global star for his bass sound that joins cello-like purity to percussive drama, and for compositions embracing American jazz, Latin music, Sephardic -Jewish folk song, avant -funk and orchestral works. But Shifting Sands is exhilaratingly different – starker – simpler …
|
Cohen’s vivacious bass improv and Shirinov’s contrastingly imperturbable lyricism glow through this fine set and if the new tunes add few surprises to the leader’s signature songbook, the playing incandesce”

Avishai, Elchin and Roni on the road…. Live touring…
|
Although tour life is not so easy these days, cancellations of flights, visa problems and long delays, Avishai and his trio were so happy to discover new venues and new fans in the past month in Senegal, and Barat in Morocco, including Ice cream at a local store
