Anat Cohen Quartet
Friday, October 8, 7:30pm Page Theatre
Israeli-born clarinetist and saxophonist Anat Cohen has been playing jazz since she was 12. After moving to New York she established herself as a bandleader and prolific composer and was named Clarinetist of the Year in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 by The Jazz Journalists Association. Inspired by Benny Goodman and celebrating his centennial, Live at the Village Vanguard, her 2010 recording, has received critical acclaim. A salute to the King of Swing is certain to be a part of her evening’s repertoire, as well as works from her four other well-received recordings.
“Cohen has emerged as one of the brightest, most original young instrumentalists
in jazz, expanding the vocabulary of jazz with a distinctive accent of her own.”
— The Washington Post
