Anat Cohen & Trio Brasileiro - Rosa Dos Ventos (2017)

2017 release from clarinet superstar Anat Cohen. On Rosa Dos Ventos, Cohen joins forces with cutting edge Brazilian ensemble Trio Brasileiro to explore Brazil's traditional Choro music and it's modern reflections. The compositions move from the traditional to the daringly modern. Some contemporary indie-rock influences are present, traditional bitter-sweet Choros can be heard, the blues makes an appearance, Flamenco is explored, and Indian-inspired drone-heavy compositions are offered. While travelling through these various styles and traditions, the musicians remain rooted in the improvisatory, virtuosic, grooving and deeply moving choro tradition. The genre-defying result is Choro - reimagined.
