Into the Silence (Avishai Cohen album)

Into the Silence is an album by Israeli trumpeter and composer Avishai Cohen recorded in France in 2015 and released on the ECM label the following year.

[1][2] The AllMusic review by Matt Collar notes "In some ways, Cohen's move toward a more classical, ambient sound makes sense, as he is recording material specifically with the ECM stylistic tradition in mind.

[3] In The Guardian, John Fordham wrote "The breadth of jazz references will make this irresistible for fans, but it’s beautiful contemporary music for just about anyone".

[4] In JazzTimes, Bill Beuttler wrote "Cohen assembled a new quintet for the project, and the music is more composed and introspective-the title track, in particular ... the five of them sound like they’ve been playing together forever".

[7] All About Jazz reviewer Mark Sullivan stated "I have to wonder whether knowing the background of the inspiration for this music colors the perception of it—it seems unlikely that a listener encountering these tracks blind would guess what they were "about."
