Anat Cohen

Israeli-born saxophonist, clarinetist, and flutist Anat Cohen is a technically adept and stylistically daring jazz musician with a bent toward blending sophisticated post-bop with Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, and other global musical traditions. Since first emerging in the early 2000s, she has earned praise for her eclectic sound, working alongside her equally gifted siblings, trumpeter Avishai Cohen and pianist Yuval Cohen, as 3 Cohens, as well as with her Brazilian-influenced Choro Ensemble and as a member of the DIVA big band. However, it's as a leader of her own groups that Anat has garnered the most acclaim, issuing albums like 2005's Place and Time, 2012's Claroscuro, and 2017's Grammy-nominated Outra Coisa. She garnered yet another Grammy nomination for her 2019 tentet album Tripple Helix before showcasing her adventurous Quartetinho ensemble on their 2022 eponymous debut and 2024's Quartetinho: Bloom.
