Israeli-born Cohen has won fans across the world with
her expressive virtuosity and stage presence. She has topped critics’ and
reader polls in DownBeat magazine, headlined at international jazz festivals
and recorded numerous albums. She also has performed at prestigious U.S. venues
such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center, and across the
globe.
“The lyric beauty of her tone, easy fluidity of her
technique and extroverted manner of her delivery make this music accessible to
all,” said the Chicago Tribune.
