Emmet Cohen

Pianist, composer Emmet Cohen is a jazz artist who has deep roots in the traditions of the art form. His body of work often dives into what would be considered the core of jazz as it was played over the past century. He is a classicist at his core, and it shows in his choices, not only in his style of play, but also the standards he picks for his sessions. He is a top-notch pianist who has also been tirelessly working to preserve the country's jazz heritage. His Masters Legacy series showcases some of the outstanding artists of previous generations. Many people would remember him, though, from the livestream series he started during the pandemic lockdown, Live from Emmet's Place, where he and his trio performed weekly with various guests for more than 5 years.
