Multifaceted jazz pianist and composer Emmet Cohen has become a leading force in contemporary music. A virtuosic talent since the age of three, Cohen’s mastery blends technique, artistry, and a deep love for jazz tradition. His performances convey a sense of connection—both with his audiences and fellow musicians. Cohen has left his mark on some of the world’s biggest jazz stages, including the Newport and North Sea jazz festivals, Carnegie Hall, and the Village Vanguard.
With his fluid technique, vast repertoire, and innovative sound, Cohen’s performances exude both elegance and intensity. Jazz legend Benny Golson summed it up best when he said, “Cohen has a lot to say.”
During the pandemic, Cohen brought live jazz to new heights with "Live from Emmet's Place," a series streamed directly from his New York apartment. These vibrant, Harlem rent party-inspired concerts became an internet sensation, racking up millions of views on platforms like YouTube and Instagram.
Cohen is deeply passionate about the intergenerational exchange of knowledge in jazz. His "Masters Legacy Series" showcases collaborations with jazz icons such as Ron Carter, Benny Golson, Tootie Heath, and Houston Person. Through recordings, live performances, and interviews, Cohen preserves and honors the unwritten traditions of jazz that have shaped America’s unique cultural identity.
Emmet is a modern innovator who gives a nod to the past.
Members of his trio will be announced at a later date.
