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

From Darkness sees Avishai Cohen with this dynamic trio performing original pieces of melancholy and rock, featuring pianist Nitai Hershkovits and drummer Daniel Dor.

Avishai Cohen's Razdaz Recordz was founded during 2002 by the internationally acclaimed bassist, singer, composer and band leader with his manager Ray Jefford. “I’ve always been interested in several genres of music, including jazz, rock, pop, Latin and funk. I’m always packed with ideas. I decided to start my own label because I’m involved in so many different projects.” - Avishai Cohen
