We had the opportunity to sit down with the Israeli trumpeter last year at the time of the release of "Playing the Room", the duo album he made with the pianist Yonathan Avishai. This One Cover One Word interview gave us an insight into his musical DNA.

An album cover says a lot, but let's make it short. Less is more. With One Cover One Word, Qobuz meets artists to have their first and last word on a few hand-picked - surprise - covers.

To celebrate the release of Playing the Room in September 2019, the album he recorded alongside his old friend Yonathan Avishai for the ECM label, Avishai Cohen told us about his various influences and inspirations.
