Avishai Cohen – The Early Years 1998–2001, a newly remastered box set featuring the bassist and composer’s first four albums: Adama (1998), Devotion (1999), Colors (2000), and Unity (2001).
Recorded during Cohen’s formative years in New York, these 4 albums reflect his close collaborations with artists such as Chick Corea, Brad Mehldau, and many others, capturing the energy and spirit of a young musician forging his own path.
Now, for the first time, these four albums return together as a newly remastered box set: The Early Years 1998–2001 – including Studio comments from the original recording session of the album Unity.

Avishai Cohen has assembled a unique session, largely through his interesting compositions, and is clearly a welcome voice on today's jazz scene.

...There is something more to be said about Cohen’s approach, and that is that it interfuses luminous aspects of contemporary Jazz with the age–old musical traditions of his homeland to create a tapestry that is often more colorful and persuasive than others woven entirely from the threads of Jazz itself ... one that we praised as “consistently enterprising and exceedingly well–played.”
