Avishai Cohen Big Vicious - Teardrop | ECM Records

Avishai Cohen Big Vicious - Teardrop

Charismatic trumpeter Avishai Cohen launched his exuberant, home-grown band Big Vicious six years ago, after relocating from the US to his native Israel, rounding up players to shape the music from the ground up, and co-authoring much of its newest material together with them. The group is an association of old friends. “We’re all coming from jazz, but some of us left it earlier”, Avishai says, summing up the stylistic reach of his cohorts. “Everyone’s bringing in their backgrounds, and that becomes part of the sound of the band.” Textures from electronica, ambient music and psychedelia are part of the blend, so too grooves and beats from rock, pop, trip-hop and more. Recorded in Studios La Buissonne in the South of France in August 2019 and produced by Manfred Eicher, Big Vicious’s debut album is issued as the band gears up for extensive international touring.

Just bought the album, both vinyl and CD. Can't get enough of it. Music is one thing, but this is something else! Powerful but tender at the same time, full of magic and transcendence. Thank you so much for this new experience, guys!

Great cover of a great song. Feeling some early 70's Miles electric vibe here. Love it!

Very nice, a big surprise at the end of the album with Teardrop from Massive Attack - a beautiful edition of this mythical song.

Avi conjures that wonderful genie that early Weather Report stirred when it sang the body electric.

Really like this album. It's very spiritual with a powerful message. ✌️🎵🎶🎺 🥁 🎸

[bradwithers]

Finally! After a week of searching, I found this. Heard it over a week ago and the DJ never mentioned artist or song title.

[ashefaels]

Beards, glorious beards. The sound expression you share is truly transcendental. Probably the most gentle trumpet I've heard recently.

[gasevski]

This performance made me pick up the trumpet. I still suck but also still play. Great interpretation.
