Yuval Cohen Quartet - "Winter Poems" Soprano saxophonist Yuval Cohen's debut for ECM captures him charting innovative paths through eight originals in graceful interplay with his freshly formed quartet. Pianist Tom Oren, bassist Alon Near and drummer Alon Benjamini are longtime acquaintances of Yuval's who are not only outstanding instrumentalists themselves, but share a deep, intuitive understanding for the leader's musical language and improvisational approach. "I'm very fortunate to be able to play with these young guys," says Yuval. "I've known them for a long time - they're three beautiful souls and talents with whom I had a great time shaping this music together." Throughout the album, Cohen demonstrates his understanding of chamber jazz dynamics and explores a broad range of influences to lyrical and contemplative, but also energetic and uplifting results.
