Sol Monk’s album Beats Not Words is one of those albums that, after I first heard it, I just listened to it on repeat for a while. It blends jazz, soul, hip hop, electronic. Mostly it’s pretty chill but at times it’s frenetic. And throughout there’s this underlying intensity that’s powered by the drums. Sol Monk is the drummer Aviv Cohen. And Beats Not Words is the magic that happened when he got together with the producer Rejoicer and bunch of other featured artists. The album came out a few months ago and now it’s just been released on vinyl. Aviv sat down with me to talk about how it all came together. Aired on TLV1 Radio - http://tlv1.fm/?p=27263
