EMMET COHEN

Pianist Emmet Cohen leads his critically acclaimed, fan-favorite trio. Praised by All About Jazz as “one of the finest piano players to emerge in decades,” Cohen has built a dedicated following and introduced new audiences to jazz. One of the genre’s brightest stars, Cohen seamlessly blends stride, swing, bebop, free jazz, and contemporary styles, with a particular focus on the Great American Songbook. He has accompanied numerous jazz legends and plays with the assuredness of a seasoned veteran. Downbeat notes that his “nimble touch, measured stride, and warm harmonic vocabulary show he’s focused on artistry, not technical showmanship.”
