Avishai Cohen Quartet

A globally recognized musician with “an individual sound and a questing spirit,” trumpeter, Avishai Cohen, is an ever-creative player-composer who is open to multiple strains of jazz. Aside from his acclaimed quartet, and previously his trio, Triveni, he has also recorded and toured the world as part of the Mark Turner Quartet, the SFJAZZ Collective, Zakir Hussain, and others as well as the 3 Cohens Sextet with his sister, clarinetist-saxophonist Anat Cohen, and brother, saxophonist Yuval Cohen. In 2024, Cohen released his newest album, Ashes to Gold, featuring the same quartet joining him for this concert, who he notes is his “dream team, sharing his sense for daring improvisation and a feel for structure.” A boundary-pushing innovator in contemporary jazz, Cohen was named as the Artistic Director of the International Jerusalem Festival, and has also been voted a Rising Star on three consecutive occasions in the DownBeat Critics Poll The quartet features Yonathan Avishia, piano; Barak Mori bass and Ziv Ravitz, drums. $35/$25 Members. $15 students
