Avishai Cohen - Trumpet, Joe Martin – Bass, Nasheet Waits - Drums

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.

September, 27th, 2008 - Woody Shaw Legacy Ensemble - Brass Knights(TM) - Jazz Standard


THE WOODY SHAW LEGACY ENSEMBLE: Brass Knights™ – September 27: A project which marks the beginning of a new direction, set forth on behalf of one of the last major innovators in the world of Jazz, the late trumpeter and composer, Woody Shaw. Featuring two of Shaw's most highly-respected musical compatriots, pianist Mulgrew Miller, and drummer and Musical Director Victor Lewis, the group will present many of Shaw's selected compositions, including some of his originals, as well as others written by members of his legendary 1970s quintet. Adding to the vitality and strength of the unit are three of the Jazz world's up and coming voices on trumpet, Sean Jones [http://www.seanjonesmusic.com], Nick Roseboro [http://www.nickroseboro.com] and Ezana Edwards, each chosen for their unique, daring style as well as their steadfast commitments to the tradition of Jazz. Completing the group is one of the most deeply-rooted Jazz bassists on the scene today, Dwayne Burno, noted for his stunning sound and musicianship (Quote: "Man, Dwayne really gets a sound out of that bass. I like that!" – Bobby Hutcherson). The group will cover such titles as Stepping Stones, Moontrane, On The New Ark, Zoltan, Rahsaan's Run, To Kill A Brick, Rosewood and others. Woody Shaw is considered by many musicians to have been a true agent for the advancement of the Jazz tradition. Some of the most prominent characteristics of his legacy are honor, innovation and integrity and, with that in mind, these musicians unite on his behalf to uphold these principles and to convey them through his music. On Saturday, September 27th, these musicians will unite as Woody Shaw's Brass Knights™.
