Rachael Cohen

Rachael Cohen - Alto Saxophone Artie Zaitz - Guitar Jack Garside - Bass Jason Brown - Drums Rachael, a London-based alto saxophonist and composer, is one of the brightest emerging stars of her generation. Her skills as a composer and improviser have gained her a great deal of attention in the UK and beyond. 2012 saw Rachael record her critically-acclaimed debut album ?Halftime? on Michael Janisch?s Whirlwind Recordings, which catapulted Cohen?s reputation to one of the premier new voices of her generation in the UK?s jazz and improvised music scene. Featuring top UK guitarist Phil Robson, ?Halftime? was highly praised nationwide and overseas upon its release in 2013 with four star reviews from major publications and earning her a spot in MOJO magazines top ten Jazz albums of 2014. Rachael has since toured and continues to work extensively across the UK with her own projects and has come to be a mainstay at London clubs such as Ronnie Scott?s and the Vortex as well as having her residencies at other clubs throughout London. ?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.? ?
