Avishai Cohen - Introducing TRIVENI

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: On September 28, 2010 Anzic Records will release trumpeter/composer Avishai Cohen’s new recording, Introducing Triveni, featuring longtime collaborators and dear friends, Omer Avital on bass and Nasheet Waits on drums. With Introducing Triveni,Cohen, now a member of the distinguished SF Jazz Collective, fulfills his artistic need to get back to music that is mainly improvised.

Triveni is a Sanskrit word borrowed from the name of the confluence of three rivers in India, the Triveni Sangam, which comprises two physical rivers, the Ganga and the Yumana, that meet with the mythical, mysterious Saraswati river. Avishai’s band Triveni has a similar makeup, as he explains; “Regarding Omer, I’ve been playing with him for so many years, we know each other well, we can hear where each other are going harmonically and vibe-wise, we know each other’s time feel very well, so it is very comfortable. He’s an incredible musician, composer and bass player. With Nasheet it’s exactly the opposite: always a mystery, always surprising. He’s such a force, such an incredible drummer that never plays anything but the music itself. No ‘licks’, no nonsense. Pure truth. And on top – swinging his ass off! I never know where he’s going and every show is a new and fresh experience.” Together – this combination of the known, Avishai (the Ganga), Omer (the Yumana), and the unknown in Nasheet (the Saraswati) creates a great balance and freshness which is a unique and powerful place to create music from.

U.S. DEBUT FEATURES STELLAR GROUP OF MUSICIANS: BEN STREET, JEFF BALLARD, KEVIN HAYS, CYRO BAPTISTA, MARK TURNER AND EGBERTO GISMONTI, AMONG OTHERS

Korean vocalist Yeahwon Shin is proud to release her self-titled debut U.S. recording, Yeahwon, on ArtistShare® (available today, September 21). Inspired by the sounds of Brazilian music and jazz, the album features Yeahwon in collaboration with a host of today’s most versatile and forward-thinking musicians: bassist Ben Street, drummer Jeff Ballard, pianists Kevin Hays and Alon Yavnai, percussionists Cyro Baptista, Valtinho Anastacio, Scott Kettner, guitarist Sun Chung, accordionist Rob Curto and tenor saxophonist Mark Turner.

In addition, the legendary composer and multi-instrumentalist Egberto Gismonti, one of Yeahwon’s most cherished musical influences, makes a special guest appearance on his own “Memoria e Fado,” underscoring the depth of Yeahwon’s immersion in Brazilian music heritage, her determination to learn her art from the very source.

Yeahwon’s journey began in the suburbs of Seoul, South Korea, where her musical talents began to emerge at age five. After studying at Korea’s Dong-Duk music university, she moved to New York in 2005 to attend the New School University Jazz and Contemporary Music program, from which she graduated with honors in December 2006.
