Avishai Cohen

Avishai Cohen, born in Kabri, Israel on April 20th, 1970, grew up in a multicultural family whose roots were found in Spain, Greece and Poland. At home, music was always in the air, with his mother Ora, an artistic influence, listening to both classical and traditional music. Avishai’s musical journey began when he was nine years old, when he began playing the piano. After moving to St. Louis, Missouri with his family aged fourteen, he continued to study the piano and began to play the bass guitar. The electric bass put a spell on him when his teacher introduced him to the music of luminary bassist Jaco Pastorius. Back in Israel, Avishai joined the Music and Arts Academy in Jerusalem to further explore the bass universe. At the age of 22, having served for two years in an army band, he decided to take a big step and moved to New York city.

Avishai Cohen，1970年4月20日出生于以色列卡布里，他在一个拥有多元文化的家庭长大，家族源于西班牙、希腊和波兰。家中随时都播放着音乐，他深受具有艺术气息的母亲影响，听了很多古典传统音乐。他九岁的时候就开始了音乐的旅程，开始弹钢琴。他14岁随家人搬到了圣路易斯，继续学习钢琴并且开始演奏低音吉他。当他的老师把他介绍给杰出的贝斯手Jaco Pastorius时，他开始着迷。回到以色列以后，他进入了耶路撒冷的音乐学院进行深造。22岁时他已经在军队乐队演奏了两年，他决定去纽约跨出更大的一步。

He studied at the New School in New York City with such artists as Brad Mehldau and was soon to be performing and recording with Panamanian pianist Danilo Perez’ Trio, reflecting the essential role that Latin music played in Avishai’s early years whilst in New York.
他在纽约新学院和音乐家们一起学习，他很快就加入了巴拿马钢琴家Danilo Perez的三重奏，这奠定了他在纽约演奏拉丁音乐的重要地位。

In 1997 a call from Chick Corea changed everything. Avishai had passed one of Corea’s friends a demo tape without particular hope of being noticed. Chick listened to it in his car and called Avishai back a few weeks later, blown away by its freshness. As a member of “Chick Corea’s New Trio” and a co-founder of Corea’s ensemble, “Origin”, for over six years Avishai became an integral part of Chick’s music and received the opportunity to fine-tune his skills as a bassist and composer. Performing with Chick Corea played an important part in shaping his musicianship, which led Avishai to consider Chick as a teacher, colleague and friend.
1997年 Chick Corea的电话改变了他的命运。 Avishai给了朋友一张demo ，当时并没有报什么希望。 Chick在车里听了，几个星期后就给他回了电话，为他带来了新的希望。作为Chick Corea’s New Trio三重奏的成员和Corea合奏团的创始人，他用了6年的时间成为了Chick音乐的核心成员，并有机会展示了他作为贝斯手和作曲家的才华。和 Corea一起演出在音乐塑造方面对他至关重要，这也让 Corea成为了他的老师、同事和朋友。

Avishai’s first four albums, (Adama, 1998 Devotion, 1999 Colours, 2000 Unity, 2001) were released under Corea’s label ‘Stretch / Concord Records’ and already featured the essence of his music and original compositions; Mediterranean and Latin influences, and the use of horns and vocals created a sound that was truly unique. The album was recorded with the International Vamp Band, a group of fellow musicians formed by Avishai, from different parts of the world (Mexico, Argentina, Cuba and Israel). The idea behind the cutting-edge project was to allow different cultures interact and converse using the medium of music, delivering a message of peace and harmony.
Avishai首次发行的四张专辑都以精致的音乐和传统的作曲著称，风格受到地中海风格和拉丁风格的影响，用号角和人声创造了一种独特的声音。这些专辑和他组织的乐队International  Vamp Band合作，这些音乐家们来自全世界不同的地方（墨西哥，阿根廷，古巴和以色列）。主题在于文化的交流和冲击，传播和平和谐的概念。

The growing range of projects he was involved in led Avishai to create his own record label with his manager in 2002, ‘Razdaz Recordz’, enabling him to follow his own path as well as record talented young musicians he believed in.
不断扩大的演出范围让他拥有了打造自己的品牌的机会，2002年成立了Razdaz Recordz，培养了很多年轻有才华的音乐家。

Lyla (2003), Avishai’s debut release on Razdaz, reflected his multitalented artistic personality, ranging from Latin rhythms to electronics, and jazz. At Home (2004) can be regarded as a metaphor defining Avishai’s music, if indeed it can be put into words: “music makes one feel at home everywhere”. Most followers will also recognize At Home featuring the composition ‘Remembering’, an evocative ballad performed with trio and probably the most demanded encore at his live performances, as well as being highly favoured for TV and film use.
他的代表作Lyla (2003), 于2003年在Razdaz上发布，反映了他多重的艺术性格，从拉丁曲调到电子音乐再到爵士。2004年的 At Home隐含了他想表达的意思：音乐让人感受到每时每刻都和家人在一起。大多数追随者们认为这张专辑还代表了回忆，能够唤起以前三重奏演出的经历。这张专辑被诸多电视节目和电影所使用。

The cosmopolitan Continuo (2006) followed with great success and displayed the magic of a working band. In 2007, the live recording As Is, Live at the Blue Note marked his return to New York for a series of concerts at the legendary Blue Note jazz club. With Gently Disturbed (2008), Avishai achieved a masterstroke, hitting the right balance between a powerful trio recording, and delicate compositions. After spending much time in New York, Avishai returned to his roots and moved back to Israel, releasing a fresh musical statement linked to his heritage and history, Sensitive Hours / Shaot Regishot (2008), attained gold sales status in Israel. It was the first album to introduce vocals in all its compositions as well as songs in Hebrew.
The cosmopolitan Continuo (2006)获得了巨大的成功，展现了一个乐队的魅力。2007年， Blue Note的演出标志着他回到了纽约，在传奇Blue Note jazz club举行了一系列音乐会。2008年的Gently Disturbed成为了主打歌，在强大的三重奏录音和精致的作品之间取得了平衡。在纽约待了很长时间以后，他回到他的家乡以色列，发行了与历史遗产相关的新作品Sensitive Hours / Shaot Regishot，在以色列的销量多的惊人。这是第一张引入人声和希伯来语歌曲的专辑。

The same year 2009 saw Avishai’s career begin a fruitful partnership with the prestigious jazz label EMI / Blue Note. This coincided with a special relationship and connection with the French audience. In Aurora, Avishai surrounded himself with a new musical family; a unique project that blended jazz, classical music and Sephardic traditions, finding the perfect environment to fully express himself as a singer. He shared all the languages he felt close to (Hebrew, English, Spanish and Ladino), and opening up to singing enabled him to reach a higher level of communication personally as well as attract listeners way beyond the borders of jazz.
2009年，Avishai与EMI / Blue Note开始了合作关系。这与法国观众有着特殊的关系。在Aurora，他融入了一个新的大家庭，开始独特的表演，混合了爵士乐，古典音乐和Sephardic传统乐，他为自己找到了一个完美的环境，充分地表达了自己。他分享了他掌握的所有语言（希伯来语、英语、西班牙语和拉迪诺语），吸引了不单单属于爵士乐界的听众。

The energy Avishai put into bringing the bass under the spotlight has pushed the boundaries of jazz and earned him international awards and recognition globally. He has continuously performed at the most renowned venues and festivals worldwide and it has enabled him to develop a strong network of followers and listeners, striking a chord with the audience wherever he has performed. The stage is undoubtedly a place where Avishai feels at home, so much so that attending one of his live performances is probably the best way to get acquainted with his musical universe. DownBeat magazine noted Avishai as a “jazz visionary of global proportions” while Bass Player magazine declared him as one of the 100 most influential bass players of the twentieth century.
Avishai通过贝斯扩大了爵士乐的界限，赢得了全球各种奖项和认可。他一直在世界上最著名的场馆和音乐节演出，这让他拥有了一大批忠实的听众，他与粉丝们相处的很愉快。舞台无疑是一个让他感受到归属感的地方，所以观看他的演出是了解他的最好的方式。 DownBeat杂志将他评为“世界爵士乐的梦想”，Bass Player杂志宣布他是20世纪最有影响力的100位贝斯手之一。

2017 brings another new musical direction and project ‘1970’’. With a new album release (Sony Music) for later in the year, Avishai will take this new band of exceptional musicians, who are not known as jazz musicians, creating a more groove based sound, swapping the grand concert piano for keyboards and adding electric bass to the mix and vocals.  As is common with his distinctive music, original melodies and songs, the listener and show goers will enjoy the experience of a multitude of influences, globally from the spring of 2017.
2017年他带来了一个新的音乐项目1970。今年随后发行的专辑中他将会与这个新的乐队一起合作。这个乐队不能单单称为爵士乐队，他们创造了更多基于音轨的声音，用键盘替代了大型钢琴，并添加了贝斯和人声。和他独特的音乐、原创的旋律和歌曲一起，观众将在2017感受到各种各样的体验。
