A year after his impressionistic, critically-lauded ECM debut Into The Silence,
trumpeter Avishai Cohen s Cross My Palm With Silver introduces a program of new
pieces which put the focus on the ensemble, on teamwork, with a quartet of the h
ighest caliber. The adroit, almost telepathic interplay among the musicians allo
ws Avishai Cohen to soar, making it clear why he is one of the most talked-about
jazz musicians on the contemporary scene. All of these people together are my d
ream team , says the charismatic trumpeter of fellow players Yonathan Avishai, B
arak Mori and Nasheet Waits, who share his sense for daring improvisation and hi
s feeling for structure. I feel we're in a perfect place with the balance. It's
open and there s so much room for the improvisation to take the music any place
we can. At the same time the composition is very specific and the vibe is very d
irect and thought about. As with Into The Silence, Cross My Palm With Silver was
produced by Manfred Eicher at Studios La Buissonne in the south of France.
