Avishai Cohen, who became well known in the jazz world during his period with Chick Corea, is one of the top bassists in the world. His virtuosity and constant creativity in both a modern mainstream format and on funkier grooves seem effortless. As Is...Live at the Blue Note contains a CD (the first seven selections) and a DVD. "Smash," "Feediop," the ballad "Remembering" and an overlong "Caravan" (the one non-original) are featured in both formats while three songs are different. Cohen takes many solos and is always a prominent force in the ensembles. Pianist-keyboardist Sam Barsh and drummer Mark Guiliana communicate very well with Cohen while trumpeter Diego Urcola and tenor soprano saxophonist Jimmy Greene add plenty of fire during their guest appearances

For the second of his Invitation series concerts, supremely gifted drummer Mark Guiliana presents his project Beat Music, where jazz and electronica are fused with equal parts daring and creativity. He'll be joined by phenomenal New York keyboardist Bigyuki for a leisurely exploration of the many worlds of jazz.

St. Vincent makes her full length live streamed concert debut with “Down And Out Downtown,” a sepia toned tour de force of gritty grooves, hungover glamour and spellbinding musicality. “Down And Out Downtown” features live premieres of several new tracks from the acclaimed “Daddy’s Home" alongside new arrangements of hits and deep cuts from St. Vincent’s Grammy-winning catalogue—all played by St. Vincent’s top shelf Down And Out Downtown Band. From rollicking full band rave-ups to delicate acoustic interludes, “Down And Out Downtown” is a celebration of unforgettable songs and peerless musicians. So disconnect your landline, stock your bar, move over and let Daddy take over.

Annie Clark - AKA St. Vincent - is one of the most elusive figures in world rock. Yet here she is headlining the ARTE Concert Festival 2024 to mark the release of her album All Born Screaming.
