Shifting Sands is the new album of the trio led by Israeli double bass player Avishai Cohen.
Among the most talented and original double bass players and composers of his generation, Avishai Cohen often proposes in his music a blend of jazz, Mediterranean music, rock, pop, Latin, and classical music. Shifting Sands is the first record of Cohen’s new trio, completed by Elchin Shirinov on the piano and the young (21) and talented drummer Roni Kaspi.
The album explores the sounds dear to Cohen: modal themes in the initial “Intertwined”, a mix of jazz and funk for “The Window”, classical sounds for “Dvash” and “Below”, oriental moods for “Joy” , contemporary jazz sounds for the title track, which is also enriched by grooves inspired by modern R&B.
“Hitragut” is particularly fascinating: a soft jazz waltz with the double bass in the foreground and gospel influences, while “Videogame” is more akin to the worlds of indie rock. The last number “Kinderblock” is built with an initial piano part in a perfect classical style, which leads to an atmosphere of old style ballad at the end.
Shifting Sands is an album full of inventiveness, remarkable both for the variety of Cohen’s compositional approach and for the versatility of his trio. They are always personal and recognizable in any musical context.
