Avishai Cohen: Global Player

Avishai Cohen speaks as a citizen of the world. He’s a street-wise player, born in Israel and raised in St. Louis, MO who learned to hold his own in Greenwich Village jazz clubs and Latin joints in the Bronx.

Trey Gunn & Marco Minnemann, Modulator [7d Media and treygunn.com] : The back cover of this disc reads as follows: “This recording was composed and produced on top of a single, 51-minute live drum solo by Marco Minnemann.”

Bill Wyman on Making The Rolling Stones' Exile On Main St. :  “That the album ever came out at all was a complete miracle,” marvels Bill Wyman of the 1972 landmark Rolling Stones album Exile On Main St. Though critics initially overlooked the band’s provocative blend of American roots
