Авишаи Коэн — первый израильский джазмен, добившийся столь широкого международного признания. Стартовав в составе трио Данило Переса, быстро попал в ансамбль Origin самого Чика Кориа. На сегодняшний день израильский басист и композитор выпустил уже семь альбомов. Поразительно, когда этот человек, которого сегодня считают одним из лучших в мире мастеров своего инструмента, успевает сочинять музыку, работать в студии и концертировать в очень плотном графике.

Avishai Cohen (born 1970, in Jerusalem) is an Israeli jazz bassist, composer and arranger. He grew up by a musical family in a small town near Jerusalem. As a child, he played the piano, but at the age of 14 he moved to the bass guitar. Later, after playing in an Army band for two years, he began studying upright bass with maestro Michael Klinghoffer. Two years later moved to New York City, and got in contact with other jazz players. After a long period of performing in small clubs, Cohen was noticed by jazz genius Chick Corea and was given a record contract. He has performed and toured in two of Chick Corea's bands, Origin and the Chick Corea New Trio. (wikipedia)
