**** “…After the Big Rain…provides a splendid entry point to Cohen’s superb and at times singular musicianship.” – Downbeat Magazine
“Cohen is a monster on Trumpet…”After the Big Rain” bathes the soul like a warm tide, with a lush and lovely texture all its own…” – Signal to Noise
Alternately moody and joyous, richly atmospheric yet beat-driven, the album features trumpeter Cohen with some of his most esteemed peers: Lionel Loueke on guitar and vocals, Jason Lindner (keyboards), Omer Avital (bass) and Daniel Freedman (drums and percussion). AFTER THE BIG RAIN is texturally rich, full of heated improvisation, group interplay and that funky kind of internationalist flavor Avishai is known for.
