4 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE
Alternately moody and joyous, richly atmospheric yet beat-driven, the album features trumpeter Cohen with some of his most esteemed peers: Lionel Loueke on guitar and vocals, Jason Lindner (keyboards), Omer Avital (bass) and Daniel Freedman (drums and percussion). AFTER THE BIG RAIN is texturally rich, full of heated improvisation, group interplay and that funky kind of internationalist flavor Avishai is known for.
