Vocalist Estar Cohen is a young composer with a chamber jazz sensibility that works pretty well. She’s been gaining quite the esteem over the last few years winning last year’s Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composers Award and honorable mention from New York Youth Symphony’s First Music competition. It looks like a pretty good resume from the requisite New York accolades. Seems just right for her to get ready to release her new album, “What We Can’t Know About Forever”, release date to be determined. In the meantime, check out the video for “Only Once” featuring string quartet The Red Shoe Company below.
