Album Description
“Timelines” is the sonic documentation of a chance encounter in the creative melting pot of New York City. It was here that guitarists Tomer Cohen and Rodrigo Almonte discovered that despite the vast geographical distance between their roots - spanning the Peruvian Andes and the Mediterranean - their musical "Timelines" were destined to converge. Released via the NYC-based Adhyâropa Records, the album is an intimate, raw and cinematic dialogue between two guitars, navigating the space where ancient folklore meets the sophisticated edge of modern jazz.
The heart of 'Timelines' lies in its ability to bridge disparate worlds through just twelve strings. Rodrigo Almonte, a scholar of Andean music, infuses the record with the mystical, rhythmic pulse of South America and Brazil. In contrast, Tomer Cohen brings the lyrical warmth and melodic complexity of his Middle Eastern heritage. Together, they transform the guitar into a storytelling medium, moving seamlessly from delicate, pastoral whispers to high-energy improvisational exchanges. It is a project that honours where they came from while building a new, shared territory in the present.
Having performed on stages across Europe and South America, the Cohen Almonte Duo brings a seasoned maturity to this debut. The album captures the spontaneity of their live chemistry, stripping away any unnecessary production to focus on the "magical moments" of two distinct voices speaking as one. 'Timelines' is more than a jazz record; it is a testament to cultural exchange, proving that traditions from the Andes or the Middle East don’t just survive in the modern world, they thrive and transform through conversation.
