This DVD/CD documents Cohen's first live outing with trio mates Sam Barsh and mark Guilliana, plus guest soloists Jimmy Greene and Diego Urcola. Also included are artist interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
Personnel: Avishai Cohen (acoustic bass); Jimmy Greene (saxophone); Diego Urcola (trumpet); Sam Barsh (keyboards); Mark Guilliana (drums).
Avishai Cohen, who became well known in the jazz world during his period with Chick Corea, is one of the top bassists in the world. His virtuosity and constant creativity in both a modern mainstream format and on funkier grooves seem effortless. As Is...Live at the Blue Note contains a CD (the first seven selections) and a DVD. "Smash," "Feediop," the ballad "Remembering" and an overlong "Caravan" (the one non-original) are featured in both formats while three songs are different. Cohen takes many solos and is always a prominent force in the ensembles. Pianist-keyboardist Sam Barsh and drummer Mark Guiliana communicate very well with Cohen while trumpeter Diego Urcola and tenor soprano saxophonist Jimmy Greene add plenty of fire during their guest appearances. The camera work is excellent for the DVD so one can equally enjoy hearing and seeing these skilled musicians at their best. ~ Scott Yanow

JazzTimes (p.94) - "His jazz is modern and inquisitive, searching for new means of self-expression while remaining mindlful of the postbop tradition....His tunes, especially his melodies, are highly structured..."

| | Dave Holland Critical Mass CD (2006)
As Is...Live At The Blue Note
$13.59
Dave Holland (1~Bass): Dave Holland (double bass); Chris Potter (saxophone); Steve Nelson (vibraphone); Nate Smith (drums); Robin Eubanks.
Personnel: Robin Eubanks (trombone); Steve Nelson Quartet (vibraphone, marimba, tambourine); Nate Smith (drums).
Recording information: Avatar Studios, New York, NY (12/2005).
Photographer: Ulli Gruber.
One word that comes to mind when listening to Critical Mass is generosity. Double-bassist Dave Holland, four decades into his career, could certainly be forgiven for taking the word "leader" at its literal meaning, calling all the shots and keeping his musicians at bay. But that's not what he's about, and at any given time Critical ...
| | Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Woo Out Louder CD (2006)
As Is...Live At The Blue Note
$10.69 
Medeski, Martin & Wood: Chris Wood (bass instrument); John Medeski, John Scofield, Billy Martin.
Personnel: John Scofield (guitar); John Medeski (keyboards); Billy Martin (drums, percussion).
Audio Mixer: Scotty Hard.
Recording information: Shacklyn Studios, Brooklyn, NY (01/2006).
Photographer: Danny Clinch.
2006's OUT LOUDER marks the second collaboration between New York's downtown avant-groove trio Medeski, Martin & Wood and guitar giant John Scofield. The band backed Scofield on his 1997 outing A GO GO, but the results here surpass even the scintillating outcome of their first meeting. With musicianship of this caliber, however, and a collective sensibility that ...

| | Avishai Cohen Gently Disturbed CD (2008)
As Is...Live At The Blue Note
$13.55
Personnel: Avishai Cohen (upright bass); Shai Maestro (piano); Mark Guiliana (drums).
Avishai Cohen has established himself over the past decade as one of the more versatile and curious bassists around. For Gently Disturbed he hooks up with the young pianist Shai Maestro, a fellow Israeli, and drummer Mark Guiliana, on a set that is never less than exciting, always seductive, and often quite challenging. The gently playful opener, "Seattle," is a teaser: a waltz-inspired rhythm percolates underneath, but its simple foundation is often obscured by the trio's complex interplay. As early as track two, the driving "Chutzpan," any notion that this ...

As Is...Live At The Blue Note
$14.15
Personnel: Steve Wilson (saxophone); Eric Scott Reed (piano); Warren Wolf, Jr. (vibraphone); Christian McBride (bass instrument); Carl Allen (drums).
Audio Mixer: Joe Ferla.
Liner Note Author: Orrin Keepnews.
Recording information: Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, CA.
One might assume that bassist Christian McBride's KIND OF BROWN would be a tribute to Ray Brown. In fact, this music bears a strong resemblance to the late-'60s to mid-'70s Blue Note recordings of the legendary Bobby Hutcherson-Harold Land quintet. A new discovery in vibraphonist ...
