With her acclaimed albums, sold-out world tours and Grammy Award nominations adding up over the past two and a half decades —not to mention the glowing profiles by such totemic outlets as NPR’s Fresh Air and The New York Times—it has become apparent that the Brooklyn-based Cohen has evolved into one of the music’s great border-bounding leaders, as not only an artist but as an educator, an ambassador.
