Emmet Cohen Trio

Register

Multifaceted American jazz pianist and composer Emmet Cohen is one of his generation's pivotal figures in music. Creator of the Masters Legacy Series and the live-streamed "Live From Emmet's Place," his work has reached millions. Cohen makes his first Newman Center appearance with bassist Russell Hall and drummer Kyle Poole.

A recognized prodigy, Cohen began Suzuki method piano instruction at age three, and his playing quickly became a mature melding of musicality, technique, and concept. Downbeat observed that his "nimble touch, measured stride and warm harmonic vocabulary indicate he's above any convoluted technical showmanship." 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. Possessing a 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.
