Watching Anat Cohen perform is a joy matched only by listening to her. – Jeff Tamarkin, JazzTimes.
Since arriving in New York in 1999, Israeli born Anat Cohen has established herself as one of the primary voices of her generation. The saxophonist/clarinetist is a bandleader and composer, conversant in jazz, classical, Brazilian, Argentine and Afro-Cuban styles. Her historic engagement at the Village Vanguard in 2007 marked her as the first female reed player and the first Israeli to headline at the club. She topped the Rising Star-Clarinet category in DownBeat Magazine’s critics poll in both 2007 and 2008, and placed prominently in a total of four categories including Rising Star Jazz Artist. Joining Anat is Jason Lindner on piano, Joe Martin on bass and Daniel Freedman on drums .
