Avishai Cohen: Adama Double Bass CD

Avishai Cohen has been declared one of the 100 Most Influential Bass Players of the 20th Century by Bass Player magazine.

"This is one of the best jazz albums to be released by anyone in years..."

Cohen is not only renowned around the world as an influential double bassist and profound composer, but also as a visionary bandleader following in the footsteps of Mingus, Dave Holland, Jaco Pastorius, Ray Brown, Charlie Haden, Stanley Clarke, and even Sting. In fact, every move Avishai Cohen makes characteristically causes waves of critical praise.

Avishai has become a first call musician in many different genres. In 2003 he made a studio recording with pop-soul artist Alicia Keys, and has also performed concert works with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and The Boston Pops Symphony.

As proven in this album, Cohen's signature sound is a blend of Middle Eastern, eastern European and African American musical expressions.
