About the Album
Bassist, composer, author, and educator Josh Cohen has
performed on two Juno Award-nominated albums, earned
1st place in the NAMM 2020 PJB Solo Bass
Competition, and built an international following through
his innovative solo electric bass work. Long associated
with extended techniques and the ability to create the
sound of a full ensemble on a single instrument, Cohen
turns his writing outward on We Are Home, his first
ensemble recording as a leader.
“For years, solo bass allowed me to shape an entire
musical world in my own hands,” Cohen says. “With We
Are Home, I had to hand that world over — to let go, trust
the ensemble, and allow the music to grow beyond what I
could have imagined alone.”
Featuring a formidable ensemble of some of Canada’s
most in-demand, forward-thinking jazz and creative music
artists — Jeremy Ledbetter on piano and keyboards,
Rob Christian on woodwinds, Lucian Gray on guitar, and
Mateo Mancuso on drums — We Are Home places
Cohen’s compositional voice inside a collective setting
shaped by the instincts, choices, and distinct musical
personalities of the band. Christian also served as
producer, recording engineer, mixing and mastering
engineer, and one of Cohen’s closest creative
collaborators throughout the project, helping shape the
album’s pacing, arrangements, textures, and final sonic
identity.
The title We Are Home carries both personal and musical
meaning. On one level, it reflects Cohen’s journey with his
family from the United States, to Mexico, and eventually
back to Canada — a period shaped by place, transition,
family, and return. On another level, it speaks to a musical
home: Cohen’s sense of belonging within the Toronto and
Canadian jazz community, and the creative trust he felt
making this music with this particular group of musicians.
We Are Home will be released on Friday, September
25th 2026.
