Anat Cohen Makes History

On June 16th, two days after her appearances at the Playboy Jazz Festival, Anat Cohen won her 3rd consecutive “Clarinetist of the Year” award from the Jazz Journalists Association. This is the first time an artist has won the clarinetist award 3 years in a row. On that same day Anat was also honored by ASCAP with the Jazz Wall of Fame Prize for Musicianship and Composition. Anat’s whirlwind start to the summer continues with a run of shows at the Village Vanguard. A week of shows with the 3 Cohens is followed by a tribute to Benny Goodman, “Clarinetwork: Benny Goodman and Beyond”. After the Vanguard, Anat brings her quartet to Canada where she plays the Montreal Jazz Festival.
