Avishai Cohen - the phenomenal young Israeli bassist/composer whose organic, acoustic bass anchors and propels Chick Corea's group "Origin" - presents Devotion. The follow-up to Cohen's stunning Stretch debut Adama - lauded as "...one of the strongest debuts in several years" (United Press International) and as "...auspicious not just for his career, but for jazz in general." (Jazziz) - Devotion finds the ever-inventive Cohen further developing an already distinctive, singular voice in creative music, as he seamlessly fuses the ethnic influences of his native land with polyrhythms and adventurous jazz improvisation. |
