 This box set brings together four CDs capturing Avishai Cohen’s formative years, recorded between 1998 and 2001 - a pivotal era shaped by his collaboration with Chick Corea.
 ‘Adama’ (1998) introduces a bold fusion of contemporary jazz and Middle Eastern traditions.
 ‘Devotion’ (1999) reveals a more introspective and spiritual voice, enhanced by strings and vocals.
 With ‘Colors’ (2000), Cohen embraces a synesthetic approach where harmonies and
rhythms evoke vivid imagery.
 ‘Unity’ (2001) fully reflects his vision of a global, socially conscious jazz led by the International Vamp Band.
 4CD clamshell box set.
