Since her move from Israel to New York in 1999, Anat Cohen has dazzled audiences on a variety of reed instruments including clarinet, bass clarinet, soprano sax, and tenor sax.
Pianist Jose Negroni has had a rich and varied career as a music teacher at a conservatory in his native Puerto Rico and as Director of Sony Music Publishing. But over the last 10 years he’s put his knowledge into practice, playing festivals around the world with his wonderfully rhythmic trio. No small part of the credit for the group’s sound goes to his son, Nomar Negroni, on drums, who trained at Berklee College of Music. The group has had a number of bassists over the years, but on its current album the excellent Josh Allen fills that chair.
