RACHAEL COHEN QUARTET

RACHAEL COHEN alto saxophone
ARTIE ZAITZ guitar
FERG IRELAND bass
WILL CLEASBY drums

Rachael Cohen is a prolific composer and one of the most creative and inventive saxophonists of her generation. Her tone and fluent, lyrical improvising style is often compared to the jazz greats of the Cool School, but also displays a harder edge when the music demands it.

Guitarist Artie Zaitz has been working and recording on the London and international scene for over a decade, regularly performing with artists such as Moses Boyd, Mark Kavuma’s Banger Factory and Camilla George.

Expect an absorbing mix of blues, ballads and bop-inspired tunes from the jazz catalogue and Rachael’s own compositions.

Please note the change to the previously advertised line-up. 

 “…Cohen takes a softly devious approach reminiscent of Lee Konitz – but, as with the canny Cool School veteran, the quietness is deceptive and the subtlety is in the weighting of phrases and the hipness with which she plays off the rhythm section.”   John Fordham, The Guardian
