Anat Cohen

Following great success at some of the worlds great jazz festivals and venues with her Tentet, GRAMMY-nominated Clarinetist and composer Anat Cohen shifts her focus to an intimate group sound with her newest band, the endlessly colorful Quartetinho (pronounced quar-te-CHIN-yo, i.e., little quartet).

Band Members

The group of New York-based international multi-instrumentalist-virtuosos are all drawn from the ranks of her aforementioned Tentet featuring bassist Tal Mashiach, pianist/accordionist Vitor Gonalves, and vibraphonist/percussionist James Shipp.

Musical Style and Performance

The idea of instrumental doubling to achieve a wide stylistic range comes from the larger group, and the spirit of this cross-cultural / stylistic ensemble rings true throughout their performances. They share a deep love for music in all its heterogeneity, and it is all amply represented in both recordings and the band's own live show. The result is boundlessly melodic and lyrical, with a wide array of timbres and subtle details of orchestration.
