Avishai Cohen, SFJAZZ Collective 2010
March 17th, Bimhuis, Amsterdam
It was the first time that I saw Avishai Cohen in real person. Maybe I was a little sceptic because of his great predecessors Dave Douglas and Terence Blanchard. My skepticism was wrong, Avishai Cohen is new, fresh and helps the SFJAZZ Collective to go to new a period with new spirits and ideas.
It was really a joy to listen to his improvisations and to see him performing. His solos were energetic and dynamic.
For the future I will follow him closely.
