12/01/2010 Quotes: AVISHAI COHEN

I understand that a lot of people who hear the word “jazz “ don’t associate themselves with it. It could be an experience that they had during which they just didn’t feel invited by jazz. As far as my music is concerned, everything makes sense: I just make music that makes me move and I’m very happy to see people having the same feeling. It’s the real magic of being an artist: someone who shares deep feelings and thoughts, and expresses himself while people follow him.
