Quartetinho: Bloom is the second album by Anat Cohen’s foursome Quartetinho (pronounced “quartet-CHIN-yo”). The band name is Portuguese for “little quartet,” although the players make a big, color-rich sound, each an ace on multiple instruments: Anat on various clarinets, Tal Mashiach on bass and guitar, Vitor Gonçalves on piano and accordion, and James Shipp on vibraphone and percussion. Bloom showcases compositions by each member of the band, as well as a lovely, lyrical take on Thelonious Monk’s “Trinkle, Tinkle” and an expansive arrangement of Paraguayan guitarist-composer Agustín Barrios Mangoré’s classic “La Catedral.”

Press

“Wherever Anat Cohen's music is heard, it's instantly springtime … Cohen is undeniably one of the jazz giants of the modern scene, and over the past 20 years, has contributed to the shape of jazz today. You can't possibly go wrong with scooping up one of these recordings.”
— Dave Sumner, Bandcamp Daily

“a first-rate control of dynamics, an almost imperceptible shift from composed sections to improvised passages, and a shared sense of form and structure … The highlight is the spacious, beautiful 'La Catedral' … in which clarinet and guitar create a magical sense of space, and usher in sensitive and beautiful changes of texture … Good to hear a quartet that constantly tests its boundaries, but is unified by excellent collective musicianship.”
— Alyn Shipton, Jazzwise

“Cohen est clairement inspirée par l'extravagance mélodieuse, les rythmes révélateurs et les riches couleurs de la musique brésilienne. Pour elle, le message dominant est la joie... qui la propulse vers des sommets sauvages, gémissants et envolés... Elle remporte des sondages de jazz à la clarinette depuis des années, mais son travail n'a cessé de gagner en force, en profondeur et en liberté. … Il n'y a rien de controversé à affirmer qu'Anat Cohen est l'une des meilleures clarinettistes du monde du jazz, et c'est toujours un plaisir lorsqu'elle sort un nouvel album.”
