Emmet Cohen Trio

Emmet Cohen creates his fresh sound from the lessons he has learned from his admiration for the pioneers of jazz: swing, feeling and humility before tradition. The pianist combines dazzling technique with a rare gift for melody and pathos.

Emmet Cohen has earned a reputation as a versatile jazz pianist with his popular online show »Live from Emmet’s Place«. The 35-year-old effortlessly lives up to this cult status in concert. No sooner have we adjusted to expecting a properly swinging combo than Cohen amazes us with clear references to the orchestral sound of McCoy Tyner. The trio surrounding the virtuoso pianist seems determined not to commit to any particular style.
