TRIVENI, a Sanskrit word meaning "the place where the three sacred rivers
meet", is jazz-trumpeter Avishai Cohen's new trumpet/bass/drums trio.
Continuing the long-standing tradition of jazz trios without a harmonic/chordal instrument into the world of today, TRIVENI runs freely in the realms of hard-bop, straight-up funk, with a bit of avant-garde thrown into the mix. The trio features the bass playing of Joe Martin and Nasheet Waits on the drums. After leading a similarly-configured trio on his debut CD ‘The Trumpet Player’ (FreshSound New Talent), Avishai has since explored the sounds and structures of African music with Lionel Loueke (featured on Avishai's latest release ‘After The Big Rain’ (Anzic Records), funk (with Me'shell Ndegeocello), folk/pop (with singer Keren Ann) and modern jazz. Now Avishai presents the new sound of TRIVENI.
