Avishai Cohen Trio live | Leverkusener Jazztage 2021 | Jazzline

Besetzung
Avishai Cohen - bass, vocals
Elchin Shirinov - piano
Roni Kaspi - drums
Eins ist bei den Konzerten von Avishai Cohen immer klar: Wo er steht, ist das Zentrum der Bühne. Der Israeli, vom „Bassplayer Magazine“ unter den 100 einflussreichsten Bassisten des 20. Jahrhunderts geführt, ist Kontrabassist, Sänger, Komponist, Bandleader und Arrangeur. Wenn Avishai Cohen live loslegt, ist er mit seiner Version des Modern Jazz, in der sich zeitgenössischer Jazz und die musikalischen Traditionen des Nahen Ostens beherzt einhaken, stets der Impulsgeber des Geschehens auf der Bühne. Variabel, gelenkig, quicklebendig und in jedem Takt mit einem ganz speziellen Drive ausgestattet ist das Spiel des Kontrabassisten - ganz gleich, er im Trio-Verbund oder mit einer Big Band im Rücken auftritt.

This was my very first impression.

[@KoBez44]

@@varkony60 in my honest opinion immaculate discipline yes, but of seeing cohen a few times , at least a change of pocket would have been welcome in her solo's, a few smiles and listens to how the others approach a song skeleton

[@staffanolofsson8201]

The way Elchin Shinirov plays the piano in this consert is different to almost all pianists in jazz history. Normally we are used to pianists taking place, trying to make their solos to be some sort of the center of the show, so to say. But no, Elchin is disciplined, he knows what it is all about, he plays his part in the most distinguished way, and therefore I love his playing.

[@John.Christopher]

Did they change pianist? And if so why?

@@John.Christopher I am not really familiar with the history of Avishai Cohen Trio, so I have no answer....

i feel like Elchin's solo's before her first were way more narrating. probably cuz she'd been unannounced up until then, she went a bit in a haze chopping up the groove & feel of the song. Eckhin's solo immeaditely after that is again way more fitting in my honest opinion of seeing cohen a few times , at least a change of pocket would have been welcome

Agreed, but in jazz with only three instruments this is not so hard to do.

[@EmptyYellow]

Wow, great show. I've been a fan of Avishai for some time. And pianist Shirinov plays beautifully as well. But holy mother of gawd .... the standout for me was Roni Kaspi. Incredibly musical and she has it all. Dynamics, feel, musical and empathetic to what Cohen and Shirinov were playing , and yes chops. But she plays for the music. When she soloed on Seven Seas she absolutely knocked it out of the park. Blew my frickin' mind.

[@TheRealShrike]

No kidding! Agree wholeheartedly.

[@KoBez44]

in her seven seas solo yes, in other songs.... ? have you seen her destroy some of the songs?@@TheRealShrike

🇹🇹KZbin algorithm must be fed up of me playing this… I question if they are people? They are so simple. To play that level of music without a script and from memory is extremely extraordinary! The bassist; the pianist; the drummer…oh my goodness!!! May Almighty God bless their soul and give them long life to continue to make us happy with their soul soothing music…Woooow!!! 🇹🇹 And ohhh…we sometimes forget the hidden guys; epic sound engineering and camera work!!! 👏👏👏

[@user-hi5py6pb8z]

These people and this music are from another planet. If I had been there in the audience, I probably would have lost my mind. The drummer, you're a cosmos. There's no words on earth that can describe your talent and the talent of all these guys

[@nathaliekaprisky1155]

Probably the best jazz trio concert I've heard so far. What a performance, absolutely brillant, thank you

[@Chunkfterbi7183]

What a trio! We’ve waited for so long for such a powerful trio that spins along Jarrett or Mehldau offerings. Pianist Shirinow displays perfect knowledge of the Jarrett and Mehldau idiom and In the second piece I hear Lyle Mays reincarnating, building his solo from silence to a continuous gradation, reminding pieces like Half Life of Absolution. And: Shirinov doesn’t come as epigone but as a complex thinker in its own right, providing of excellent technique in order to produce flow and a Trip factor in his soloing. The whole trio acts perfectly homogenous in timing and phraseology. This trio is a bliss!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Thank you for your comment! I totally agree.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Also EST, Esbjörn Svensson Trio, has to be mentioned. This swedish trio that made a new way for how a piano, a base and a drum can cooperate.

I've come across this by accident. A jazz fan going back to the 60s I'm no doubt guilty of not being as open as I should be to what came after the '60 but this reminds me that jazz is alive and well and evolving in the 21st century. Also nice to see a trio where all three are wonderful - like a solid 3 legged stool. And as someone says below, fine recording. Bravo.

Roni Kaspi is absolutely an “outlier”. She is a very superior artist! So young and so bright! It almost feels like he's been playing for 50 years. She was born sitting on a drum... It's a great pleasure to hear her play - even more so in the company of "monsters" of the quality and importance of Avishai and Elchin. Thank you very much! Paulo de Tarso Riccordi, Brasil.

John Fordham - 10 Jun 2022 Avishai Cohen Trio: Shifting Sands review - exhilarating, incandescent jazz Since his emergence in Chick Corea’s trio in 1997, the Israeli-born double bassist Avishai Cohen has become a global star for his bass sound that joins cello-like purity to percussive drama, and for original compositions embracing American jazz, Latin music, Sephardic-Jewish folk song, avant-funk, orchestral works, even pop-tinged vocals. 40:09 Source: The Guardian

Man, Avishai Cohen not only do I love your music I think it's so wonderful, like Mile Davis you bring new musicians into a world I know they want and train to be in.
