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.

Wonderful, Magic, Powerful

Merci beaucoup ! !

[@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?

[@staffanolofsson8201]

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

[@KoBez44]

they change often. elchin is greater than roni

[@alexanderhummel5932]

Drummer absolutely kills it!!! What a beast!

[@varkony60]

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

[@ptriccordi]

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.

[@bencisco]

i was at the concert and Roni just blew everyones mind during her solo on seven seas. you wanted to cheer, give her props or something like that, but you could'nt. she just freezed everyone in a trance. never experienced something like that. that was spiritual!

[@KoBez44]

I don't get the hype personally. Her first solo was not special, maybe it's the song structure. Mark Guiliana would do way better, if i remember

[@johnbarker8504]

She/He?

[@petroschoremis149]

I love the way Roni Kaspi blends in the music ..GREAT MUSIC, MUSICIANS, AND FEEL. Bravo !

[@staffanolofsson8201]

[@KoBez44]

@petroschoremis149 @@staffanolofsson8201 I don't get the hype personally. Her first solo was not special, maybe it's the song structure. Mark Guiliana would do way more with that kind of groove.

[@KoBez44]

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

[@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

[@nathaliekaprisky1155]

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

[@xcy0n]

The sound engineer did a superb job! ❤️

[@staffanolofsson8201]

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

[@xcy0n]

@@staffanolofsson8201 I have to politely disagree! :-) But I understand that it might seem so. Compare this to the last Avishai concert uploaded here two month ago for example.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

@@xcy0n I must confess that I have no real insight in this. I just imagine that it is more easy to record a jazz trio than a full orchstra in a hall, or a loneny guitar in a church concerning all the sound reflexes. Best wishes!

[@KarlGeorges]

@@staffanolofsson8201 Easy to do is ignorant BS. Sorry.

[@eitansaba1853]

By far the best recording of Avishai’s concert. Just look at the microphones arrangement in comparison to other recent live recordings. The sound engineers @ WDR did a state of the art job and their professionalism will echo for generations.

[@Tugend8]

What an extraordinary concert of three genious master-musicians, also this phenomenal sound! One of the best concert-recordings I've ever heard in my life. God bless you all! Love & peace on earth ...!

[@enyaratna]

The first composition is a pure masterpiece. Brings me to tears every time the bass solo culminates.

[@petershim5900]

Roniiiii! Oh lord! You've reached! So proud of you! ❤🙏🏼❤🙏🏼🤩

[@sandro6138]

Hello Avi, in this valley of tears, you are one of the few people around who can arouse strong emotions. Your music is a tale of beautiful things, of deep humanity, of 'Courage'. Thank you for existing. Greetings to the new band.

[@CoolCue1]

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. The latest I've seen is the drummer Roni Kaspi. Great performance. I listened over and over and believe it or not I learned something. Great performance by all.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Same here!

[@liegesaboya33]

This ensemble is so good ! I've been listening to this video for weeks every day

[@staffanolofsson8201]

One year since I first listened to this. It still has the grip on me, maybe even more, as I now learned all the details. Still one of the best jazz conserts I´ve heard. So lucky this is always available on KZbin.

[@waynejulien9140]

🇹🇹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!!! 👏👏👏

[@tedpolhemus6111]

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.

[@tedpolhemus6111]

[@DenisChampagne2212]

Indeed he is but you may want to listen to Herbie Hancock, Lyle Mays, Keith Jarrett, Oscar Peterson, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck just to name a few

Some of you mentioned a resemblence with Brad Meldau and Keith Jarrett. I also want to point out the resemblence with the Swedish Group Esbjörn Svensson Trio, EST, me myself a swede. Esbjörn that tragically died in a diving accident some years ago...Bless his soul.

[@madwoman8297]

Yes, so sad to lose Esbjorn. I had just discovered EST and looked them up only to find he had died....what a loss!

[@tonydimauro4334]

It's like esbjorn and Tigran Hamasyan had a love-child

[@charlesbarstow319]

Much love and appreciation to master Esbjörn and the great tradition of Scandinavian jazz. I distinctly remember when I "discovered" EST's Seven Days of Falling in my uncle's music library years ago; it felt like something I had always been waiting to hear without knowing it.

[@royhorologic1732]

The resemblance is more than superficial. Both wonderful trios.

As I see it: "Below" at 14:47 is Jazz´s answer on theraphy. Never have I heard such a smooth answer of the question of who we are and what we are aimed for.
