3 Cohens: Tightrope

Read "Tightrope" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Nei loro dischi precedenti (vedi Family) c'erano diversi momenti in cui i fratelli israeliani s'esibivano in libere improvvisazioni a tre voci. In questo nuovo lavoro questa modalità improvvisativa diventa centrale, pur innestandosi nel rispetto della tradizione che caratterizza la loro collaborazione. Il trombettista Avishai Cohen (da non confondere con l'omonimo bassista), il sassofonista Yuval Cohen e la clarinettista e sassofonista Anat Cohen sono determinati a mantenere un comune spazio d'espressione. Tightrope, che non a caso ...

3 Cohens: Tightrope

Read "Tightrope" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


It shouldn't come as a shock that the 3 Cohens stress the idea of interconnectedness in their music; soprano saxophonist Yuval Cohen, multi-reedist Anat Cohen and trumpeter Avishai Cohen are, after all, blood. With albums like One (Anzic, 2004), Braid (Anzic, 2007) and Family (Anzic, 2011), these three horn-playing siblings have made it clear that they're forever linked to one another in life and music, but they don't always address these bonds in the same fashion. Braid, for example, was ...

3 Cohens at Village Vanguard

Read "3 Cohens at Village Vanguard" reviewed by David Miller


Anat, Uval and Avishai CohenThe Village VanguardNew York, New YorkJune 23, 2009If jazz is an attitude, then the Cohen family has it in spades. That much was evident from the moment Anat, Yuval and Avishai took the hallowed Village Vanguard stage on a sweaty Tuesday night. In a set whose moods ran the gamut from joyous to melancholy, with a bit of humor thrown in for good measure, there was nary a complacent moment as ...

3 Cohens: Braid

Read "Braid" reviewed by Ernest Barteldes


On this disc, recorded in a Brooklyn studio in the summer of 2006, the three Cohen siblings blend their many individual influences into one happy family outing. While reed player Anat's work clearly has more of a Latin vibe (thanks to work with groups like Choro Ensemble and her Brazilian jazz quartet), her brothers--trumpeter Avishai and saxophonist Yuval--seem to draw inspiration mostly from European and Middle-Eastern jazz. Working together, the trio has a noticeable chemistry that is undeniable--according to the ...

3 Cohens: Braid

Read "Braid" reviewed by Greg Camphire


To the ranks of soulful jazz families like the Heaths of Philadelphia, the Joneses of Detroit and the Marsalises of New Orleans, fans can now add the 3 Cohens of Tel-Aviv, a talented Israeli combo featuring tenor saxophonist/clarinetist Anat Cohen and her brothers Yuval on soprano sax and Avishai on trumpet, who are hitting their stride on their sophomore collective effort, Braid.

The aptly-titled album sums up the telepathic, conversational interplay of the Cohens; musically, their inside jokes, finishing of ...

3 Cohens: Braid

Read "Braid" reviewed by Mark F. Turner


Jazz ensembles comprised of siblings are rare but not uncommon (The Heath Brothers--Jimmy and Percy, the well-known Marsalis brothers, and the Moutin twins--François and Louis). The 3 Cohens can be added to the list and show that it's a truly a family affair of musical harmony on their sophomore release Braid. The 3 Cohens--sister Anat (clarinet/saxophone) and brothers Yuval (saxophone) and Avishai (trumpet)--have performed in various groups and locales from Tel Aviv to New York City. They're ...
