Haggai Cohen-Milo
Jazz / Neo-Classical / Improvisation
Berlin-based Israeli double bassist (Omer Klein Trio) whose album "Gravitations" re-imagines Mahler, Verdi and Debussy as jazz.
Haggai Cohen-Milo is a Berlin-based double bassist, composer and bandleader, and bassist in the Omer Klein Trio. Born in Israel, he studied at the New England Conservatory in Boston with teachers including Danilo Pérez, Bob Moses and Jerry Bergonzi; in 2006 he won the grand prize of the Fish Middleton Jazz Soloist Competition and a DownBeat Music Award. On his ambitious album "Gravitations", recorded live at Hamburg's Laeiszhalle, he re-imagines great classical works by Mahler, Verdi and Debussy — not quoting or arranging them but pulling their emotional threads into a new framework of jazz, improvisation and spoken word. Collaborators include saxophonists Emma Rawicz and Maria Kim Grand, trumpeters Philip Dizack and Justin Stanton, and poet-performer Stimulus.
