Our Take

Avishai Cohen and Yonathan Avishai have teamed up to bring us a jazz album that is as vibrant and lively as a jazzy monkey swinging from tree to tree. "Playing The Room" is a delightful showcase of their musical prowess and chemistry on stage, or in this case, in the room.

The album opens with the track "One for Mark" which immediately grabs your attention with its infectious rhythm and playful melodies. Cohen's bass lines are like a smooth, velvety embrace while Avishai's piano work dances around them with finesse.

As the album progresses, we are treated to a diverse range of sounds and influences, from the soulful ballad "Lonnie's Lament" to the upbeat swing of "Crescent". Each track is a gem in its own right, showcasing the duo's versatility and knack for creating music that is both engaging and enriching.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Gigi et Amelie", a beautiful and haunting piece that transports you to a dimly lit jazz club in the heart of Paris. Avishai's delicate piano playing is complemented perfectly by Cohen's deep, resonant bass lines, creating a mesmerising listening experience.

In conclusion, "Playing The Room" is a stellar album that is sure to captivate jazz lovers and music enthusiasts alike. With their impeccable musicianship and infectious energy, Cohen and Avishai have created a musical masterpiece that is a joy to listen to from start to finish.
