## Avishai Cohen - *Simonero*


## Avishai Cohen is an incredible
jazz bassist and songwriter, and was actually one of the first modern jazz artists I discovered in my late teens.  I had always imagined jazz to be a stuffy, old fashioned sort of thing, but when I found Cohen, it really helped "open" my ears to the sounds of jazz, which in turn allowed me to look back at jazz history with less of a teenage-punk-angsty-bias, lol.  Avishai Cohen is from Israel, and has been recording and touring worldwide since 1993, after graduating from *The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music*.  He has performed as a solo act, and with his trio.  [Wikipedia - Avishai Cohen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avishai_Cohen_(bassist))

## This song is from his brand new
album, ***Arvoles***, which was released yesterday, though this song came out earlier as a preview.  I actually went back today and listened to his last 3 releases, though unfortunately this one is not yet available on Spotify, so I think I'm going to have to buy it.  This song is awesome, I love Cohen's bass work, he always writes some incredibly melodic bass parts, which makes it more of the lead instrument at certain points throughout his songs.

## Enjoy today's song!  Thanks for checking out my blog, and Steem On!
