Jazz aficionado and sax musician Ruby K at Jewschool heard Anat Cohen play last year for the first time, and called her: “a force to be reckoned with.” She writes:

...I don’t think I’ll forget that name anytime soon. Sorry, Daphna, but it looks like you’ve got competition in the woodwind crush division. Holy shit, Anat can play. Her flow almost had an effortless sound to it, especially on clarinet, but she could play that tenor too. Her sound ran rings around Randy Brecker, a giant on trumpet who just did not seem capable of holding his own with her. Such a talent. Damn!

This Sun, Mar 7, Anat is playing at the 92nd Street Y with eight other talented musicians. They will play arrangements by Oded Lev-Ari of some of Benny Goodman’s hits and others. Bring your student I.D. and purchase your ticket for just $10.
