From Darkness and Big Vicious


'From Darkness' by Avishai Cohen Trio. Released in 2015 on compact disc and on the RazDaz Records label. 

Avishai Cohen is a bassist. This is not traditional jazz .... bebop or swing. And not improvisational, avant-garde or free jazz either. I suppose it would be labeled, contemporary jazz. Melodies that don't always go in the expected directions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

More contemporary jazz from a second Avishai Cohen. 'Big Vicious.' On vinyl, from 2020 on the ECM Records label. This Avishai Cohen is a trumpet player.

And before anyone assumes that I knew there were two different Avishai Cohen's, I didn't. I just discovered as I was typing this. I thought to myself, "Ummmm wait a minute. Bass? .... Trumpet?"

Another case of learning something new, every day.
