Avishai Cohen contributed all ten selections to
Continuo, originals that are often influenced by Middle Eastern music.
Cohen's bass dominates throughout, easily taking the most solo space. His trio with pianist
Sam Barsh and drummer
Mark Guilliana is tight, often being joined by
Amos Hoffman on oud. The music is atmospheric, sometimes introspective, touched strongly by Western
classical music and spontaneous in spots. Lovers of
Avishai Cohen's bass solos will want this set although others will wish that there were more variety in frameworks and instrumentation.
