Avishai Cohen - Little Big Beat Studio (Live Session) (2025) [Hi-Res]

On November 23, 2024, Avishai Cohen and his Quintet gathered at the world-renowned Little Big Beat Studio for a special Studio Live Session. In the intimate setting of this legendary space, Cohen was joined by Roni Kaspi (drums), Itay Simhovich (piano), Yuval Drabkin (saxophone), and Yonathan Voltzok (trombone). Together they created a performance that was both powerful and delicate, marked by spontaneity, deep interplay, and the unmistakable energy of musicians fully attuned to one another.

The session captures Cohen at his most inspired: lyrical, inventive, and rooted in the rich tradition of jazz while reaching far beyond it. Each composition unfolds like a conversation, with the Quintet’s dynamic shifts, subtle textures, and bursts of intensity revealing new dimensions of Cohen’s artistry. The recording not only documents a singular night of music but also embodies the living, breathing quality that makes jazz so vital and timeless.

Now released as an exclusive limited-edition double vinyl, this album offers listeners the chance to experience the warmth and immediacy of that unforgettable session. Recorded on 2” analogue tape and produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Little Konzett at Little Big Beat Studios in Liechtenstein, the sound preserves every nuance—from the quietest detail to the most explosive climax.

More than a live document, this release is an invitation to step into the room with Avishai Cohen and his Quintet, to feel the closeness of the performance, and to be carried by the music’s spirit. A must for devoted fans, jazz lovers, and anyone moved by the art of true live performance.
