With an individual sound and a questing spirit, this ever-creative trumpet player-composer is open to multiple strains of jazz and active internationally as a leader, co-leader and sideman.
DownBeat raved over the Triveni release, saying: “Cohen and company improvise together so wonderfully that they often sound shocked at their collective inventions.” While The New York Times again praised him as “an extravagantly skilled trumpeter, relaxed and soulful…deftly combining sensitivity and flair.”
