ANAT COHEN TRIO

Anat Cohen’s ongoing love affair with Brazilian music has triggered Grammy nominations in the World Music and Latin Jazz categories. “One brilliant bonanza of Brazilian music from one of the greatest clarinetists of our time,” raves All About Jazz. More than any other, she is credited with “bringing the clarinet to the world.” Together Anat (clarinet & sax), Vitor Gonçalves (accordion & piano) and Tal Mashiach (bass & 7-string guitar)—multi-instrumentalist virtuosos from Israel, the U.S. and Brazil—explore modern jazz, African grooves, and New Orleans styles. And of course the lively sounds of Brazil and Latin America.

Anat was born in Tel Aviv and attended the Tel Aviv School for the Arts, the Jaffa Music Conservatory, and later the Berklee College of Music, where she honed her jazz chops and expanded her musical horizons. She spent a decade touring with Sherrie Maricle’s all-woman big band, The Diva Jazz Orchestra; she also worked in such Brazilian groups as the Choro Ensemble and Duduka Da Fonseca’s Samba Jazz Quintet, along with performing the music of Louis Armstrong with David Ostwald’s “Gully Low Jazz Band.” Anat soon began to bend ears and turn heads; whether playing clarinet, soprano saxophone or tenor saxophone. In 2009, Anat became the first Israeli to headline at the Village Vanguard, the setting for perhaps the most celebrated live recordings in jazz history. Widely considered one of the world’s greatest clarinetists, she has been making history ever since.
