This concert features two remarkable Israeli musicians based in New York, each cultivating a jazz that perfectly resonates with the ECM label: the trumpeter Avishai Cohen, leading his quartet, and the pianist Shai Maestro, with his trio.
Gravitating since the late 1990s, the trumpeter Avishai Cohen—distinct from his compatriot bassist of the same name—practices fervent music aimed at purity. Trained with Yonathan Avishai (piano), Barak Mori (double bass), and Ziv Ravitz (drums), his acoustic jazz quartet presents Naked Truth here, a superb album with evolving chiaroscuro released by ECM in 2022. Discovered in the early 2010s, pianist Shai Maestro develops a musical language filled with contained lyricism and rich nuances. For ECM, he crafted particularly The Dream Thief (2022), a gem recorded with Jorge Roeder (double bass) and Ofri Nehemya (drums). This elite trio is to be captured here in the heat of the action.
