Avishai Cohen

From Darkness Avishai Cohen

From Darkness sees the Israeli composer, bassist and singer go back to the very core of his musical idiom and activity, but with Avishai, what may seem as a return to the basics always brings the promise of a new beginning. From Darkness once again opens an essential gateway into a new creative and expressive dimension. It is the first time since Gently Disturbed that I have the feeling I am reaching a new, fresh and incredibly substantial form with the trio. A belief reinforced by two outstanding partners, pianist Nitai Hershkovits and drummer Daniel Dor. Both Nitai and Daniel take my music to places and perspectives that I had never suspected it would go and I couldn't dream of anything better. Avishai goes on to describe this chemistry between them as; Here, three becomes one. In Leonard Cohen's song Anthem, he wrote these penetrating lines; There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. It is through these majestic flaws, carved by humans and musicianship, that From Darkness let's the light radiate from an art that, more than ever, can legitimately claim to reach the truth of the human soul.
