Anat Cohen
Meet the artist
An Israeli-born clarinetist and saxophonist who moves across styles including Brazilian music, highlighting the clarinet's expressive possibilities in contemporary jazz. The clarinet's warm low range and bright upper register support expansive melody.
Swing's lightness and Brazilian rhythmic detail can appear naturally within the same performance. Sensitive responses let her move easily between foreground and ensemble. The instrument becomes a voice for contemporary improvisation rather than a nostalgic sound. Across styles and regions, melody and the pleasure of musical dialogue provide a consistent point of entry.
