TOMER COHEN

• "Folk elements and Middle Eastern/Israeli musical characters variously interact with Cohen’s jazz foundation.

He’s one to watch and listen for." - DownBeat Magazine (USA)

​

• "A mature record with no ego. It is striking that the American Israeli does not opt for muscle language. He enriches his pastoral melodies with quicksilver notes, scents and colors." - Jazzism (Nederland)

​

• "The creative mix of his Israeli and American musical roots produces refreshingly different grooves and a particularly effortless style of playing, even at faster tempos." - Jazz Journal (UK)
