Avishai Cohen ? Ashes to Gold": Jazz
With Avishai Cohen (trumpet, flugelhorn, flute), Yonathan Avishai (piano), Barak Mori (double bass), Ziv Ravitz (drums)
For the past twenty years, trumpeter and composer Avishai Cohen has been honing a demanding musical style in which silence plays a key role. In "Ashes to Gold", the trumpeter responds with a form of flamboyance to the horrors of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which for a time drained him of all music. An advocate of peace, he leads his band, united by years of complicity, through the meanderings of a five-part suite of rare emotional intensity, from which hope eventually springs.
