Emmet Cohen Trio
Lineup
About the Event
“A young piano virtuoso with a delicate touch, a confident, swinging feel, and a debonair flow.”
– The New York Times
Pianist Emmet Cohen leads a powerful, hard-swinging trio with two of the best: Bassist Peter Washington and drummer Joe Farnsworth.
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.”
