Today, the Spotlight shines On clarinetist Anat Cohen.

Anat's been bringing her joyful spirit to jazz venues worldwide for two decades, blending swing, Brazilian rhythms, and melodies from her native Israel. Her 2024 album Bloom (Anzic), pairs her musical warmth with that of her quartet Quartetinho-Portuguese for "little quartet"-creating intimate conversations between clarinet, piano, bass, and percussion.

Today, we'll hear about Anat's musical journey, from family jam sessions in Tel Aviv to becoming the first Israeli artist to headline the Village Vanguard and plenty of stories in between.
