“Thirty years old and one of the finest piano players to emerge in decades…” – All About Jazz
American jazz pianist and composer Emmet Cohen has emerged as one of his generation’s pivotal figures in music and the related arts. A recognized prodigy, Cohen began practicing Suzuki method piano instruction at age three, and his playing quickly became a mature melding of musicality, technique, and concept. Possessing a fluid technique, an innovative tonal palette, and an extensive repertoire, Cohen plays with the command of a seasoned veteran and the passion of an artist fully devoted to his craft.
Cohen’s artistry has garnered numerous accolades from the international jazz community; he has placed first in both the American Pianists Association’s Jazz Competition and the Phillips Piano Competition at the University of West Florida. Cohen has appeared in world-renowned jazz festivals all over the globe, notably the renowned New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia. Currently organist-in-residence at Harlem’s Smoke Jazz Club, Cohen has also performed at Village Vanguard, Blue Note, Birdland Jazz Club, Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, Lincoln Center, and the Kennedy Center, and he was received by President Obama in the Oval Office.
Cohen has appeared regularly with Ron Carter, Benny Golson, Jimmy Cobb, George Coleman, Jimmy Heath, Tootie Heath, Houston Person, Billy Hart, and many others. Cohen is also a member of Christian McBride's trio Tip City, the Herlin Riley Quartet, and the Ali Jackson Trio, and he serves as pianist and music director for jazz vocalist and television personality Lea DeLaria.
