Zohar & Adam Release Debut Album 'Osmosis' via Mack Avenue Records

Today, genre-defying virtuosic duo Zohar & Adam released their debut album Osmosis via Mack Avenue Records. Blending their musicianship with elements of hip-hop, neo-soul, electronica and more, the brothers provide an immersive look into jazz’s future. With a stunning supporting cast of musicians including legendary bassist Christian McBride, rapper Nory, keyboardist J3PO, trumpeter Skylar Tang & more, jazz’s illustrious history intermingles with modern influences freely.

The album follows the release of “Demon (ft. Nory & J3PO),” a 90s-esque backpack rap track, and their tribute to the legendary Chick Corea, “For Chick (ft. Christian McBride & Steve Wilson),” which was placed on Spotify’s ‘State of Jazz’ and Apple Music’s “Jazz Currents” playlists. With their European tour, they will return to the US for their Blue Note Jazz Club and Winter JazzFest debuts on 11/30 and 1/15.

Reflecting on the release, Zohar & Adam said: “os.mo.sis the process of gradual or unconscious assimilation of ideas.

This term is the purest representation of our debut album. With a foundation of live keys & drums as the through line, we wrote most of the tunes as we were in recording them. Through improvisation, we allowed the many musical influences we’ve had from our upbringing to fuel each piece. From the engineering and composition to the post-production and mixing, every step of this project was taken into our own hands to create the introduction to who we are. Thank you to the incredible Mack Avenue family for trusting the process and supporting our vision.”

Making their Mack Avenue debut, brothers Zohar and Adam Cabo are turning heads at the ages of only 19 and 21. Having grown up with all the world’s music just a click away, their vast universe of influences mingle freely in their sound, drawing from Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, D’Angelo, A Tribe Called Quest, Roy Hargrove, MF DOOM, Hiatus Kaiyote and countless others. Their music is the product of endless hours of brotherly competition within a musical family, resulting in the kind of onstage telepathy you only hear in longstanding working bands of veteran musicians.

Having opened up for the likes of Norah Jones, Gregory Porter and Christian McBride as teenagers, the brothers’ onstage telepathy goes back as far as they can remember. Their compositions are devised by generating ideas through unbounded improvisations and allowing their chemistry to develop the songs - creating a sound that is as explosive and rapidly changing as it is grooving. In Zohar’s words, “We’re kind of like disaster artists onstage. Whatever happens, happens – and we always keep moving forward. We’re just trying to play what feels good.
