Double bassist and singer Avishai Cohen (Jerusalem, 1970) is now presenting his new album titled Seven Seas all around the world. His European tour began in Paris last April, where he sold out tickets for his concert at the Olympia concert hall, compelling the organizers to organize an additional session there. Like in the domino effect, the show played to capacity audiences night after night all over the continent. Cohen will bear the responsibility of giving the opening concert of this seventh edition of Imaxina Sons 2011 in what probably is the best professional and artistic year of his career. While audiences fill up and enjoy his concerts every night, the jazz critics express their unlimited praise to the high quality of his last album. Seven Seas (Blue Note Records, 2011) comes at the peak of the career of this jazz star and is seen as a milestone of jazz in 2011. The beauty of his music stems form the integration of the Latin and Sephardic tradition with the beautiful jazz sounds achieved by this excellent double bassist and singer, something he already did in his previous albums Aurora (2009) and Sha’ot Regishot (2008), also published by Blue Note.
