Drummer Norm David, who supports Avishai Cohen's trio, debuts with an album that showcases a futuristic world beyond jazz, utilizing polyrhythms, irregular time signatures, and ethnic beats.
Norm David, the drummer who supports Avishai Cohen's trio, a leading force in the contemporary jazz scene, unveils his debut album. Emerging talents from the "Cohen school," such as Israel's rising star Mark Juliana (ds) and Shai Maestro (p), have left their mark, creating a global movement. Norm David himself has garnered significant attention as a "genius drummer" through performances at venues like Blue Note Tokyo, building anticipation for his new release.
In this album, Avishai Cohen (b) himself participates, crafting exquisite ensembles with his extraordinary play. Joining him are four Israeli musicians, including Omri Mor (p) from the same trio, who navigate polyrhythms, irregular time signatures, and ethnic beats to unfold a futuristic world that goes beyond jazz. This album hints at the musical future envisioned by the likes of Bob Dylan and Frank Zappa, promising an electrifying and impactful new release.
Comment from Avishai Cohen / Bass:
"Norm and I have known each other for 30 years and we know each other well. He is one of the first drummers I ever played with and one of the best among them. Truly amazing!"
