You'll be hearing a lot about Anat Cohen on WBGO this week. Last year, she debuted at the Village Vanguard, the first female instrumental leader to do so. This week, her quartet takes the stage at the Vanguard to celebrate her recent release, Notes From the Village. We'll take you there. Later this week, you can also hear Anat Cohen's recent performance from the Kennedy Center on JazzSet with Dee Dee Bridgewater. We hope you get a chance to discover an exciting new voice in music.
So while you're waiting for all this excitement, listen to this recent conversation with Anat Cohen. You can also listen to what's on her iPod, arranged by entropy.
-Josh
