 Coming in the form of a beautiful antique pink and dark green 3-shutter digipack and gatefold double LP, ‘Two Roses’ is, in Avishai’s words, “a once in a lifetime project.”
 Associating his core trio (Mark Guiliana, Elchin Shirinov) with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Avishai Cohen offers a very cinematic project between jazz, Mediterranean folklore and classical music, re-exploring a part of his musical journey.
 As well as offering new orchestrations of his most successful works, ‘Two Roses’ also features ‘When I’m Falling’, an original composition showing how far the sound of Avishai Cohen has developed.
 The 180g double vinyl edition features two exclusive tracks, including a symphonic version of ‘Seven Seas’, which is one of Avishai’s most beloved compositions.
 “For many years I had thought of writing some of my existing music and new compositions for a full orchestra. Though it seemed more like a fantasy for a while, at a certain point it felt like the right time. So I decided to contact some good orchestrators and begin the journey. Diving into the assignment
getting deeper and deeper into it and within a few years this incredible body of work was ready to be performed and recorded.
 “As soon as we finished recording, it was clear something special had been achieved and now I can’t wait for more.
 “Playing and singing with an orchestra is pure magic. I’m feeling very fortunate for this incredible opportunity and wish to thank everyone who is a part of it, especially my manager Ray Jefford who was the main anchor behind this wonderful production.
 “Enjoy” - Avishai Cohen
