One of Woodstock star Country Joe's original Fish, New York's Cohen has been issuing stormy blues-piano licks in five decades now. Certainly, they've got a cross-generational appeal. Cohen's ivory isn't tickled so much as tackled, and his fireball tone makes instant sense.
"Mr. Cohen isn't the average hippie gone Wall Street, he's also a certifiably smokin' barrel house rumba boogie-woogie piano player in the James Booker/Professor Longhair/Dr. John vein." David Bennett Cohen has been a professional musician for more than 40 years. Best known for his innovative keyboard playing as an original member of the '60's rock band, Country Joe and the Fish, he is an equally accomplished guitar player who has been involved in numerous music scenes throughout his varied career.
