Emmet Cohen is a multifaceted American jazz pianist, composer and bandleader at the vanguard of his generation’s advancement of the genre. Widely recognized for his virtuosity, deep swing and commitment to intergenerational continuity, Cohen has emerged as a central figure in contemporary jazz–honoring its lineage while actively shaping its future. At the heart of Cohen’s work is the belief that jazz is fundamentally about communication and connection–between musicians, audiences and the generations that carry the music forward. That philosophy found a defining expression during the 2020 lockdown, when Cohen created Live From Emmet’s Place, a weekly livestream series broadcast from his Harlem apartment. Evoking the spirit of historic rent parties while employing sophisticated modern production, the series quickly became a global gathering place for artists and listeners alike, setting a new standard for live internet jazz performance. Across platforms, Emmet’s Place has garnered over 100 million views.
