Get ready for an unforgettable night as the GSU Jazz Band takes the stage with interna tionally renowned clarinetist, saxophonist, and bandleader Anat Cohen . Nominated for three Grammy Awards, Cohen is celebrated for her captivating performances, acclaimed Latin jazz and world music recordings, and her large jazz ensemble album “Triple Helix.” The Israeli native-turned-New Yorker will join the talented musicians of the GSU Jazz Band for a lively night of memorable music.

“Ms. Cohen on the clarinet was a revelation. She could evoke infectious joy [and] conjure a deep, soulful melancholy. Even as she was playing the most technically difficult of all the reed instruments, she took my breath away. [With] the tenor saxophone it was immediate ly apparent that she was a terrific musician, fluid, full-throated, with a knack for creating beautifully crafted, even eloquent solos.”
