"Great playing and very hip writing. I especially dig your acoustic work Adam. Great sound and feel. Cool record!”
--Darryl Jones, bassist (Miles Davis, Sting, The Rolling Stones)
"Adam Cohen demonstrates with this CD the seriousness in which he approaches his music. His ability on his instrument, along with his writing and leadership skills, all make me want to hear work by this fine musician."
--Marshall Zucker (Jazz Improv Magazine)
"GREAT ADAM! Beautiful recording!! Best wishes and much success with this new project.
YOU ROCK! Peace . . ."
--Jimmy Haslip, bassist (solo artist, The Yellowjackets)
"What I find attractive about artists of Cohen’s caliber is his aptitude and how effectively he raises the bar of excellence by taking command of his instrument with the prowess of artists like Picasso’s magnificent works on canvas. Adam Cohen’s compositions on “Ritual,” captures the essense of contemporary music with lyrically fresh, accessible jazz that encompasses the vision, and expertise of his early musical influences. It might be a wishful thinking on my behalf, nevertheless I hope this recording by Adam Cohen sets a new standard for contemporary (jazz)."

"Adam Cohen possesses a deep groove to be sure. The icing on the cake is his mature, thoughtful improvisations."
--Kevin Michaels, WWJZ
“Your solo CD Ritual is a beautiful work of a talented composer.”
--Sergio Mattoso, Brazilian bassist
"His melodic soloing is incredible...and [his] compositions shine. Anchored by Cohen's solid bottom and melodic top end, the music soars."
--A-1 Artists Music Network
"...awesome chops...ample bottom! In playing the six-string bass he's encroaching on the sonic territory of the guitar. And when acting in the role of lead guitarist his playing tends to be melodic and pretty. It is a pleasure both as a jazz fan and as a jazz writer to personally discover a great talent."
--Jonathan Barg (L.A. Jazz Scene)
"[His] time, tone, technique, phrasing and taste are all first rate. I also admire [his] compositions...gifted indeed!"
--Dann Glenn, bassist/recording artist
"I am not just blowing hot air up your pant leg when I say your CD is phenomenal! It is by far my favorite right now. Really great stuff."
--Dave Pozzi, saxophonist & author of "Approach to Jazz Improvisation" [Hal Leonard]
