Avishai Cohen - Ashes to Gold (2024)
"Ashes to Gold" is a poignant reflection of Avishai Cohen's emotional response to the Israeli-Hamas conflict of October 2023. The album features a five-part suite that transitions from serene flute melodies to intense trumpet expressions, capturing a spectrum of emotions from hope to despair. Cohen's collaboration with pianist Yonathan Avishai, bassist Barak Mori, and drummer Ziv Ravitz results in a cohesive and introspective soundscape. The inclusion of Maurice Ravel's "Adagio assai" and "The Seventh," composed by Cohen's daughter Amalia, adds depth and personal significance to the work. Overall, "Ashes to Gold" stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit amidst turmoil.
