The French newspaper L&#8217;Express called it &#8220;an album that could play an entire lifetime,&#8221; with &#8220;catchy and timeless melodies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Supporting Cohen at Bates are vocalist Karen Malka, percussionist Itmar Doari and oudist Amos Hoffman.<\/p>\n<p>Not to be confused with the trumpeter of the same name, Cohen came of age musically in New York as a member of Chick Corea&#8217;s sextet Origin. Known as a bandleader for making an eclectic brand of jazz that seamlessly blends energy and lyricism, he has also performed with jazz masters like Paquito D\u2019Rivera, major symphony orchestras and pop-soul artist Alicia Keyes. Bass Player Magazine named him one of the 100 most influential bass players of the 20th century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jazz composer, bassist and singer Avishai Cohen made a Bates debut in 2008 that concert hall manager Seth Warner calls &#8220;amazing.&#8221; Now he returns for a performance at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 17, in the Olin Arts Center Concert Hall, 75 Russell St. Tickets are $12 and $6, and are available at www.batestickets.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"categories":[11010],"tags":[4622,6135,7863],"class_list":["post-35906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-arts","tag-jazz","tag-music-tag","tag-seth-warner"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35906"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35906\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87571,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35906\/revisions\/87571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
