Avishai Cohen (born April 20, 1970) is an Israeli jazz double bassist, composer, singer, and arranger.<\/p>\n

Avishai was born in Kabri, a kibbutz in northern Israel.[1] He has Spanish-Jewish, Greek-Jewish and Polish-Jewish ancestry.\u00a0 He grew up in a musical family at Motza and Beit Zayit near Jerusalem until the age of six, when his family moved to nearby Shoeva. He began playing the piano at 9 years old but changed to the bass guitar at the age of 14, inspired by bassist Jaco Pastorius, whose music was introduced to Cohen by a music teacher in St Louis, Missouri, where Cohen had moved with his family as a teenager. When his family moved back to Israel he joined the Music and Arts Academy in Jerusalem with a focus on acoustic bass.<\/p>\n
