ECM Records, also known as "The Creative Label," is a German independent label that was co-founded by producer Manfred Eicher, Manfred Scheffner, and Karl Egger in Munich (Pasing) in 1969. With the label code LC 2516 / LC 02516, ECM stands for Edition of Contemporary Music and focuses on jazz and Western classical music. They showcase both acoustic and electronic artists who produce eclectic versions of contemporary music.

ECM's extensive catalog features a wide range of genres, from contemporary works by renowned composers like Steve Reich, Arvo Pärt, and Philip Glass to experimental and electronic jazz from artists such as Nils Petter Molvær, Pat Metheny Group, and Jan Garbarek. Over the past 40+ years, ECM has released more than 1500 recordings that have been acclaimed for their exceptional music quality, creative production techniques, and outstanding sound.

Avishai Cohen, born in Israel in 1970, is a renowned jazz bassist and composer. His musical journey began on the piano, but it was during his time in St. Louis that he discovered his passion for jazz and switched to the bass. After returning to Israel, Cohen made his way to New York in 1992, where he quickly established himself as a prominent figure in the jazz scene.

Cohen's education at the New School and Mannes College of Music provided him with valuable opportunities to collaborate with fellow musicians such as pianist Brad Mehldau. He also received lessons from esteemed bassist Andy Gonzalez and performed alongside Abie Rodriguez and Ray Santiago in a Latin jazz band. This experience deepened his understanding of both Latin music and jazz.

In 1996, Cohen became a founding member of Chick Corea's sextet 'Origin' after being invited by pianist Danilo Perez to join his trio. Throughout his career, Cohen has had the privilege of accompanying legendary artists like Bobby McFerrin, Roy Hargrove, Herbie Hancock, Nnenna Freelon, Claudia Acuña, Paquito D'Rivera, and even collaborated with pop-soul artist Alicia Keys on a studio recording.

Cohen's talent has earned him recognition as a "jazz visionary of global proportions" by DownBeat magazine. Bass Player Magazine also acknowledged him as one of the 100 Most Influential
