Brothers Zohar & Adam Cabo have become one of the most talked about young ensembles in jazz, since their talent was recognized by Christian McBride, founder of the jazz education program Jazz House Kids. McBride even guests on their upcoming album, Osmosis, which displays their blend of progressive jazz, Latin rhythms, hip-hop, and global music sensibilities, performed with the kind of telepathic synchronicity that only a lifetime of playing together can bring.
