International Clarinet Superstar Anat Cohen Receives TWO Grammy Nominations

Earlier this year, Anat Cohen, celebrated the world over for her expressive virtuosity and infectious charisma, continued her love affair with Brazilian sounds in a profound way by releasing two albums simultaneously via Anzic: Outra Coisa: The Music of Moacir Santos (with guitarist Marcello Gonçalves) and Rosa Dos Ventos (with Trio Brasileiro), both recorded in Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia.

Anat Cohen has never been more prolific and inspired, onstage and on record. Since 2005, her series of releases via her Anzic Records label have seen the clarinetist and saxophonist range from hard-swinging to lilting balladry, from small groups to larger ensembles and back again, exploring a universe of music along the way. In recognition for this brilliant output Anat Cohen has received TWO Grammy
Nominations!:    

Anat Cohen & Marcello Gonçalves - Outra Coisa

Best Latin Jazz Album (Category 35)

Anat Cohen & Trio Brasileiro - Rosa Dos Ventos

Best World Music Album (Category 54)

"It is an incredible honor to be nominated for two different albums I released this year. I'm thankful Marcello Gonçalves had the idea to record the music of the great Moacir Santos and for arranging Moacir's large ensemble writing for an intimate guitar and clarinet duo. I got to play with a whole orchestra in one 7-string guitar. Thank you to my friends at Trio Brasileiro for their musicianship and compositions and for that week in Brasilia spent learning each other's music so we can express it in our best possible way. Thank you Anzic Records for releasing these albums!  I am so proud", Anat Cohen

"I'm very proud and happy for my friend and partner in Anzic Records Anat Cohen's well deserved double Grammy nominations", Oded Lev-Ari (partner in Anzic Records, Musical Director for Cohen's Tentet, arranger, producer, pianist and recording artist)

DownBeat Magazine has declared: "One of the most acclaimed clarinetists in jazz, the Israel-born Cohen has also managed to become one of the world's foremost practitioners of Brazilian music. Indeed, she is now to the clarinet what Stan Getz was to the tenor saxophone in the 1960s: a jazz musician who speaks the language so fluently that she has become a beacon of Brazilian music to the larger jazz world." The praise hasn't only come from the jazz world, with Brazilian Press saying: "Anat is an Israeli who seems like a Brazilian when she plays samba."
