This lady can play the clarinet so masterfully and with such inspiration and yet still have subtlety and humor. That’s the sign of a world-class player. Thanks for posting!
Cohen seems untouchable as a soloist here, but shredding on the piano while maintaining a stride ostinato is so freaking hard because your mental bandwidth is necessarily divided. Props to Nimmer. Coming back to Cohen, you can't help but smile listening to her. Just look at the guitarist -- James Chirillo has heard (and comped for) plenty of great solos in his time, but he can't stop grinning. Love that.
Thanks for pointing out dan in meds artistry and facility…a deeply under rated pianist….the drummer was smoking as welll. He starts off the vibe from the opening bars and keeps things tapping.
Wonderful virtuoso playing from Anat and kudos to Dan Nimmer and the Jazz at Lincoln Center team. Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw would be KVELLING with pride!!!!
I bought a new head joint today. And a book by Charlie Parker and the kid at the store said “ you learn this you can really Shred”. You are shredding Anat!! ❤
I am amazed how her tone quality is so amazing! I need to reach this level as soon as possible! Because man, she rocks on that clarinet in jazz music!!!
Annette is one of the greatest female musicians ever I love her stuff on saxophone and clarinet she is something else and this is a great version of one of my favorite songs china boy ever she can really play with the best of them and swing just as good and Heart is the best of them I could listen to Annette Cohen all day and never get tired of it.
¡¡¡Genial!!! Se pasea como quiere con el el clarinete e improvisa maravillosamente bien (Creo que la influencia de Benny Goodman ha sido muy importante, al menos, en esta melodía). ¡Felicitaciones, Anat!
Wow this is one of the greatest clarinet ever in my life can you are the best ever and boy you can really swing keep on playing this great stuff red hot clarinet and swinging jars.
Wow Annette you are one of my all-time favorite clarinet ever I just love to hear and wonderful female instrumentalist like you play especially one of my favorite songs I absolutely love it wow you are an awesome musician I gladly support you and all female instrumentalists you are one of the best best tunes ever.
It's a parody of jazz. She can play, but she can't connect. All virtuosity, no soul. She doesn't deserve to polish Coltrane's shoes, not even to carry Goodman's or Shaw's horn cases.
