From Darkness – Avishai Cohen Trio

From Darkness (2015) stands as a milestone in Avishai Cohen's discography, solidifying the chemistry between the bassist and his collaborators of the time: pianist Nitai Hershkovits and the young drummer Daniel Dor. Released through Razdaz Recordz, the album is a compendium of the leader’s aesthetic concerns, navigating fluidly between modern jazz, the pulse of rock, and classical tradition.

Cohen's compositions explore the tension between technical complexity and lyrical bareness. The album moves away from unnecessary pyrotechnics to embrace a sophisticated minimalism, where the double bass, piano, and drums converse in a language of mutual listening.

It is a testament to artistic maturity that elevates the trio format to a dimension of total cohesion, transforming each piece into an organic and profoundly human dialogue.
