AVISHAI COHEN - Brightlight - LP - Vinyl [NOV 1]

CD 

In his latest album, Brightlight, Avishai Cohen showcases his multi-faceted talents alongside a stellar ensemble of musicians.

Among these are some of the brightest young talents from the new jazz scene, including drummer Roni Kaspi, pianist Guy Moskovich, his working core trio as the centre on many of the titles, and saxophonist Yuval Drabkin and many other hand-picked talented artists.

 Roni Kaspi brings a youthful vigour to the album, infusing the music with a sense of spontaneity and drive. After more than three years of touring with Avishai Cohen, she even has a dedicated title on this recording (‘Roni’s Swing’), written by Cohen as an homage to her dynamic and energetic drumming.

Guy Moskovich, a pianist whose harmonic sensibilities and technical prowess have garnered him recognition as a rising star in jazz, provides the perfect complement to Cohen’s basslines.

Yuval Drabkin, on saxophone, adds another layer of richness to the extensive ensemble. His emotive playing and nuanced interpretations bring a compelling voice to the project, enhancing the album’s overall depth.
