Avishai Cohen is recognized worldwide as a musician with his own sound and a searching spirit, an always creative player-composer who is open to multiple movements within jazz and is active as a leader, co-leader and sideman. In addition to acclaimed work with his quartet in recent years, and previously his work with the trio under the name Triveni, the trumpeter has also recorded and toured the world as part of the Mark Turner Quartet, the SFJAZZ Collective, Jazz100, Zakir Hussain, and the 3 Cohens Sextet - with his sister, clarinetist-saxophonist Anat, and brother, saxophonist Yuval. Cohen has been appointed artistic director of the International Jerusalem Festival and has been voted Rising Star in the DownBeat Critics Poll three times in a row.
