AVISHAI COHEN's music is like a whirlpool of emotions. The structure of the songs, their intimate architecture, surprises again and again with unexpected twists and turns. In his compositions, he dampens feelings, holding them back so they can fully unfold, preventing the energy from draining before it reaches the listener. Meanwhile, Jerusalem-born Cohen, who has since settled in Tel Aviv and enjoys a reputation as one of the most popular jazz musicians of the last decade, is approaching his artistic zenith with "Seven Seas." In April 2009, COHEN released his first album "Aurora" on Blue Note. A work brimming with bold charm, to which the double bassist, composer, pianist and arranger added another aspect of his work - vocals. He had already sung on previous recordings, but with a certain casualness. Now his voice came loud and clear to the fore. The audience and critics were left speechless. With "Seven Seas", COHEN reached a new artistic peak. Here he presents an even more ambitious, subtle and refined compositional work without throwing his typical energy, ecstasy and emotionality overboard. With its nursery rhymes, lullabies and suites brimming with heroic inspiration and symphonic sounds, "Seven Seas" takes you on a fantastic sonic journey where understatement and grandeur play endless ping-pong. "Seven Seas" is undoubtedly the most interesting album by this extraordinary artist! Review ,,Modern ethno jazz with a twist." (stereoplay, 04 / 2011) , "Very romantic." (Jazzthing, 04/05/2011) , "Although the ten tracks are played at a fast pace, they never feel hectic, thanks in part to Cohen's extremely sing-songy way of playing the double bass." (stereo, 05 / 2011)

Album zasahuje do žánrov Jazz, Vocal a Contemporary Jazz.
