Anat Cohen on Piano Jazz
NPR – Jun 24, 2007
After graduation and two years of mandatory military service during which she played with the Israel Air Force Band she came to Berklee — her older brother Yuval was already there and Avishai would soon follow. At Berklee Cohen’s teachers persuaded her to reincorporate the clarinet into her repertoire in addition to studies on the saxophone and the flute. In Boston she also came in contact with other international students and began exploring the intersection of world music and jazz with a particular interest in Latin styles. Gigging around Boston Cohen joined up with groups that specialized in styles ranging from Afro-Cuban to Argentinean Brazilian Choro and even Klemzer music. Cohen moved to New York and began to cultivate a specialty in Brazilian music working with such groups as Brazooka Band the Choro Ensemble and the Samba Jazz quintet led by Brazilian drummer Duduka Da Fonseca. In addition Cohen explored more traditional jazz avenues such as playing lead tenor sax in an all-female jazz group (Diva Jazz rchestra) and the Gully Low Jazz Band a group dedicated to traditional jazz. She also leads her own quartet and performs with her brothers as The Three Cohens.
