Art Boutiki Music Hall
44 Race St,
San Jose, California
Once again, if the Art Boutiki is opening on a Sunday
night, chances are it is for something special. This time we are proud to
welcome world–renowned trumpeter Avishai Cohen to our stage.
When describing trumpeter Avishai Cohen, The Guardian
said “every generation of jazz trumpeters revisits the legacy of Miles Davis in
their own ways, but the Israeli rising star Avishai Cohen’s version of the
journey has been particularly skillful.” In 2017, a year after his impressionistic,
award winning, and critically-lauded ECM debut Into The Silence, Cohen’s
sophomore release for ECM Cross My Palm With Silver introduced audiences to a
new collection of pieces highlighting his exceptional quartet.
Cohen is globally recognized as a musician with an
individual sound and a questing spirit, an ever-creative player-composer open
to multiple strains of jazz and active as a leader, co-leader and sideman.
Aside from the acclaimed work with his quartet over the last several years, and
previously his trio work under the moniker Triveni, the trumpeter has also
recorded and toured the world as part of the Mark Turner Quartet, the SFJAZZ
Collective, Jazz100 (with Danilo Perez, Chris Potter, etc.) Zakir Hussain, and
the 3 Cohens Sextet – with his sister, clarinetist-saxophonist Anat, and
brother, saxophonist Yuval.
Cost: $30 in advance, $35 day of the show
