Emmet Cohen

Emmet Cohen, a celebrated American jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader, performs at the Dekelboum Concert Hall at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center on Friday, April 30, 2027, at 8:00 pm. Known for his virtuosity, deep sense of swing, and dedication to connecting generations of jazz musicians and listeners, Cohen has become a defining voice in contemporary jazz. His philosophy that jazz is rooted in communication and connection gained worldwide attention during the 2020 lockdown with “Live From Emmet’s Place,” a weekly livestream from his Harlem apartment that combined the spirit of historic rent parties with modern production and ultimately drew more than 100 million views across platforms.
