Avishai Cohen Trio

In the organizer's words:

Avishai Cohen is one of the most influential bassists, composers and biggest stars of the jazz world! We also have the honor of presenting this exceptional artist to you on two evenings in the Georg Neumann Hall in an appropriate setting. Look forward to Avishai Cohen and his trio, sensitive melodies meet rousing rhythms and virtuoso improvisations!

His playing is virtuoso, his stage performance full of emotion. And he always has a good feel for the next generation of musicians: Avishai Cohen is a double bass player, singer, composer and arranger of modern jazz. Captivated by music from an early age, Avishai played the piano, but was inspired by Jaco Pastorius to switch to the bass. At the age of 22, he moved to New York, where he immediately made an immense impression on the scene. He became part of the bands of Chick Corea and Danilo Perez, played with Kurt Rosenwinkel, Edward Simon and Seamus Blake, but also quickly made a name for himself as a bandleader of various formations, but always with his unmistakably melodic and virtuoso attitude. His albums as a trio with Mark Guiliana and Shai Maestro are regarded as modern classics. His work spans the jazz context, but also includes string quartets and collaborations with renowned symphony orchestras such as the Brussels Philharmonic and the BBC Concert Orchestra. His work has received numerous awards and Avishai is considered one of the most creative and pioneering musicians of his time.

Guy Moskovich (b. 1996) is an up-and-coming jazz pianist and composer from Israel, currently based in New York City. Guy began playing classical piano at the age of 9 and studied jazz at the age of 14, when he attended the prestigious Thelma Yellin High School of the Arts and was a scholarship recipient of the America - Israel Cultural Foundation. Guy's music offers a unique perspective on modern jazz, drawing from his Israeli heritage and Middle Eastern influences, as well as elements of Western classical composers such as Chopin and Liszt.
