REVIEWS 

“ A drummer of creative agitation.”
 

- Karl Stark, The Philadelphia Inquirer

“... a leader and drummer of the highest quality... his approach is fresh, while simultaneously upholding tradition”

 

- Dave Miele, Jazz Improv

“ ...beautifully furious...Cohen plays with abandon, pushing musicians...like Blakey or mentor Tony Williams.”
 

- Cadence Magazine

“ ...cool thrashing in the drums, Cohen has the loose interactive approach of his teacher Tony Williams.”
 

- Owen Cordle, JazzTimes

“... Cohen proves an effective director laying down a steady haze of cymbals and propulsive drive.”

 

- Karl Stark, The Philadelphia Inquirer

“ ...Energetic drum-driven modern jazz.”
 

- International Association of Jazz Record Collectors

“ ...A trio record that allows for free interaction. Cohen keeps up interesting rhythmic interplay.”
