González. Heath. Jones. Marsalis. The history of jazz is populated with a certain set of surnames that evoke thoughts of both musical excellence and familial connections. If you love the work of a great jazz artist, il makes sense that you'd want to hear the music of that artist's family members. Fans of Caiinonball Addcrlcy are often fans of Nat Addcrlcy. Collectors of MichacI Brecker's albums also own Randy Brecker CDs. and they rave about the Brecker Brothers discs that the siblings recorded together. The Joneses? You could spend 10 years only listening to the music of Hank Jones. Thad Jones and Elvin Jones. And how different would the annals of jazz be without the contributions of brothers Percy. Jimmy and Tootie Heath? Jazz fans in New York {and around the world) revere both Andy and Jerry González (see page 14). Then there's Wynton Marsalis. who turned 50 on Oct. 18 (see page 16). He would not be the titan he is today had it not been for the influence of his father. Ellis, and the musical experiences he has had with his brothers Branford. Delfeayo and Jason. And now we add another surname to the list of great jazz families: Cohen. The fantastic new CD from the 3 Cohens is appropriately titled Family. Dan Ouellette's interview with Anat. .Avishai and Yuval Cohen conveys a tale that illustrates the transcendent power of unconditional love (see page 26). One thing that makes this jazz family stand out is that it consists of two brothers and a sister. Anat Cohen is unquestionably among the elite artists in jazz today. In the 2011 DownBeai Critics Poll, she won the Clarinet category and was voted the Rising Star winner for Soprano Saxophone. She has won the Clarinet category in the DownBeat Readers Poll for two consecutive years. The music she makes with her wildly talented brothers. Avishai and Yuval. exemplifies the power of musical DNA. There's a telepathy that occurs on the bandstand when you've known a collaborator for literally your entire life. Wc also have exciting news regarding another Cohen—DownBeat Reviews Editor Aaron Cohen (who is a fan of the 3 Cohens, but not related to them). On Nov. 15 in New York. Cohen was honored with an ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for his October 2010 cover story. "Ray's Kind Of Jazz." The article is an analysis of Ray Charles' connections and contributions lo jazz. The ASCAP Deems Taylor Awards are given in recognition of oulslanding print, broadcast and new media coverage of music. (Cohen's first hook. Areiha Franklin's Amazing Grace, was published in October by Continuum as part of its 33 1/3 series.) This was the third ASCAP Deems Taylor .Award that Dow nBeat has rcceivcd in recent years.
