Part of SFJAZZ's Israeli JazzFest Israel’s profile on the international jazz circuit has exploded in recent years. Following the rise of burgeoning Israeli scenes at New York’s Small’s Jazz Club and Boston’s Berklee College of Music, musicians including bassists Omer Avital and Haggai Cohen Milo, drummer Ziv Ravitz, pianist Omer Klein, saxophonist Eli Degibri and guitarist Gilad Hekselman have worked to redefine the cultural composition of modern jazz. Of this prodigiously talented group of transplants, the Tel Aviv-born Cohen siblings — Anat (tenor & clarinet), Yuval (soprano) and Avishai (trumpet), have made an especially profound impact. Working together as the 3 Cohens, they have released three CDs for the Anzic label, including their 2011 offering, Family. In addition to his recent work with the SFJAZZ Collective, Avishai is also a founding member of Third World Love, a genre-expanding quartet mixing African and Middle Eastern influences with jazz and rock. The acclaimed group features Omer Avital, pianist Yonatan Avishai and drummer Daniel Freedman. Join us for a remarkable weekend of music, celebrating many of the world-class artists at the heart of the Israeli jazz revolution. Concert includes a pre-performance talk with Anat Cohen at 7:00 pm.
