Emmet Cohen Trio

A dynamic and charismatic performer, multifaceted American jazz pianist and composer Emmet Cohen is in the vanguard of his generation. His wide-ranging talents have invigorated the contemporary arts world with Downbeat observing his “nimble touch, measured stride and warm harmonic vocabulary indicate he’s above any convoluted technical showmanship.” Possessing fluid technique, an innovative tonal palette, and an extensive repertoire, Cohen plays with the command and passion of an artist fully devoted to his medium. 

Cohen, a recognized prodigy, began Suzuki method piano instruction at age 3, and his playing quickly became a mature melding of musicality, technique, and concept. Cohen notes that performing jazz is “about communicating the deepest levels of humanity and individuality; it’s essentially about connections,” both among musicians and with audiences. He leads his namesake ensemble, the Emmet Cohen Trio; is a vibrant solo performer; and is in constant demand as a sideman.
