Avishai Cohen was born April 20, 1970, in Israel. He plays jazz double bass and composes, but also sings and arranges - a rare combination that lets him layer voice over the low rumble of his instrument. His work pulls Hebrew melody and Middle Eastern rhythm into straight-ahead jazz structures, a hybrid that marked him as distinct without turning exotic. The bass itself becomes lead and rhythm at once in his hands, a approach that reshaped what a jazz trio could sound like. He remains active, recording and touring, a figure who proved the double bass could carry more than the back line.
