SUMMARY:The Amity Duet: Avishai Cohen and Makoto Ozone at Blue Note Jazz Club
DESCRIPTION:A dream-come-true collaboration of  two of the leading figures in contemporary music today. The ‘ Amity ‘ Duet\,  inspired through Friendship\, Peace \, Harmony and Mutual understanding. Makoto Ozone and Avishai Cohen\, are both unique creators of jazz in the world today with substantial paths and careers forged\, who are also both closely intertwined to belated jazz legend Chick Corea. They will join forces presenting a series of  intimate acoustic performances  throughout the globe during 2023 – 2024. \nAvishai Cohen\, born in Kabri\, Israel on April 20th\, 1970\, grew up in a multicultural family whose roots were found in Spain\, Greece and Poland. At home\, music was always in the air\, with his mother Ora\, an artistic influence\, listening to both classical and traditional music. Avishai’s musical journey began when he was nine years old\, when he began playing the piano. After moving to St. Louis\, Missouri with his family aged fourteen\, he continued to study the piano and began to play the bass guitar. The electric bass put a spell on him when his teacher introduced him to the music of luminary bassist Jaco Pastorius. Back in Israel\, Avishai joined the Music and Arts Academy in Jerusalem to further explore the bass universe. At the age of 22\, having served for two years in an army band\, he decided to take a big step and moved to New York City. \nMakoto Ozone graduated from Berklee College of Music in 1983. The same year\, he gave a solo recital atCarnegie Hall in New York City\, becoming the first Japanese musician to be exclusively signed to CBS\, with theworldwide release of his debut album OZONE.His stellar career has brought him a Grammy nomination in 2003\, and Makoto has constantly been in theforefront of the international jazz scene\, recording and touring with such greats as Gary Burton\, Chick Corea\,Gonzalo Rubalcaba\, Paquito D’Rivera\, Arturo Sandoval\, Elis Marsalis\, Branford Marsalis\, Jeff “Tain” Watts\, andmany others. In 2004\, he formed the “No Name Horses” big band in Japan. The band has been performingsuccessfully in Japan and all over the globe ever since.
