Jazz composer and prolific clarinetist, Cohen celebrates the music of Benny Goodman.

• Cohen transcribed the legendary bandleader’s solos in 2009, saying “I wish I could just be there at that time, and I could just get up and dance, and jitterbug with everybody else. His swing is just so exciting. And he really goes all the way from top to bottom and back up on the whole clarinet—and it’s hip, it’s traditional and it’s Benny.” —NPR
• Proficient on the saxophone and clarinet, Cohen was recently named Clarinetist of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association and called “one of the most original, young instrumentalist in jazz” by The Washington Post.
