Welcome back, me

Friday music blogging: Avishai Cohen 1

FMB is back!

Usually I blog on music that’s come out in the same year, but today I make an exception. I’ve been out of the country for two weeks and it’s nice to be back in Seattle, so what better to celebrate than a song called “Seattle”?

This is from the Avishai Cohen Trio, off their 2008 album Gently Disturbed. Cohen’s a rightous stand-up bass player and songwriter; this has become one of my favorite albums lately. Highly recommended if you’re into jazz, or even if you’re not.

(Thanks to Ezra Klein for turning me on to Cohen.)

    I gotta tell you, David. I've enjoyed your Friday Music blogging immensely. I think I first heard about Fleet Foxes from you (thanks for that) and now you're bringing up one of my favorite musicians, Avishai Cohen. I first heard about him from a jazz class I took about 6 years ago. The guy has got some serious talent. Thanks for bringing him up to the wider audience.
