On February 22, 2005 Razdaz Recordz proudly releases Avishai Cohen's most compelling and striking new recording to date, At Home. This recording, featuring eleven new compositions from Cohen, is the bassist/composer's sixth recording as a leader and the follow up recording to Razdaz Recordz's first release, Cohen�s critically acclaimed Lyla. On At Home Avishai is joined by two rising stars on the international music scene, Sam Barsh (piano, Hammond B3, Fender Rhodes, Melodica) and Mark Guiliana (drums, percussion), and is joined on several tracks by the ensemble of Yosvany Terry (saxophones, chekere), Anne Drummond (flute), Diego Urcola (flugelhorn), Jeff Ballard (drums, percussion) and Tomer Tzur (hand drum). At Home will be released by Sunnyside Records and distributed by RykoDisc in the U.S.
Avishai Cohen, a musician who has been called a jazz visionary of global proportions by DownBeat, and was declared one of the 100 Most Influential Bass Players of the 20th Century by Bass Player Magazine, has recorded an album of magnificent proportions. At Home reflects on, and celebrates, places, people, emotions and realizations that Cohen has encountered in his many sojourns around the globe, all the while exposing the innermost jubilation and contemplation of the bassist/composer. Stuart Nicholson, commenting on At Home, in Jazzwise Magazine, said "for my money [it's] the most considered and best realised of all." Indeed, Cohen exposes his many gifts as a melodic composer, powerful soloist and provoking leader, as never before, reflected in the brilliant performances by the trio and ensemble. Whether in his adopted home of New York City, in his native Israel, or on the road playing this music (where he finds himself much of each year), Avishai Cohen is At Home.
