Join JIMENA at Congregation Sherith Israel for SFJAZZ Festival 28. Watch the critically acclaimed brother and sister, Anat and Avishai Cohen perform on the clarinet and trumpet.

With two consecutive DownBeat Critics Poll Rising Star Clarinet awards and a 2009 Best Clarinetist award from the Jazz Journalists Association, Anat Cohen is easily the most exciting young player on the instrument. Cohen has a stellar series of CDs to her credit, including the recent release Clarinetwork: Live at the Village Vanguard. Anat's brother, trumpeter Avishai Cohen, is another rising star and one of the most important jazz musicians to emerge from Israel. A member of the all-star SFJAZZ Collective, he is also the co-leader of the eclectic world-jazz group Third World Love and has worked with the likes of John Zorn, Jason Lindner, Lionel Loueke and Dafnis Prieto, among others.
