SUMMARY:Emmet Cohen Trio Pays Homage to Piano Greats
DESCRIPTION:MODERN / CLASSIC JAZZ PIANO\nHarlem-based Emmet Cohen Trio makes their Charlotte debut at the JAZZ ROOM performing selections from Cohen’s latest album “Future Stride”\, paying homage to Piano Greats of yesterday\, with an innovative modern spin. \nPiano phenom\, Emmet Cohen\, brings his all-star trio featuring bassist Russell Hall and drummer Kyle Poole. The trio is known for its range and uplifting dynamism\, representing Cohen’s “kaleidoscopic sense of musical narrative\,” as noted in Downbeat Magazine. Expect to be treated to a master class in stylistic juxtapositions\, including the melding of stride\, blues\, church\, swing\, bebop\, free\, and contemporary styles\, resulting in the innovative sound of Jazz’s future. \nMultifaceted American jazz pianist and composer Emmet Cohen is one of his generation’s pivotal artistic figures. Downbeat praised the “nimble touch\, measured stride and warm harmonic vocabulary” he employs to communicate with other musicians and audiences.\nHe has appeared in venues around the globe\, from the Newport Jazz Festival\, to the Washington DC Kennedy Center\, to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. His leadership and collaboration with artists like Ron Carter\, Jimmy Cobb\, George Coleman\, and Jimmy Heath have led to his 4-album landmark “Masters Legacy Series” among other noteworthy albums including his latest 2021 release “Future Stride”. During the 2020 lockdown\, Cohen developed “Live From Emmet’s Place\,” a series of weekly performances by his trio and special guests livestreamed from his New York. And May 20 and 21\, you’ll find him here\, at the JAZZ ROOM. \nDiscover more about Emmet Cohen on his website. \nFEATURING\nEmmet Cohen\, piano\nRussell Hall\, bass\nKyle Poole\, drums \nThe JAZZ ROOM provides a casual and intimate setting with tables and a full bar\, reminiscent of the classic jazz rooms of yesteryear.\nNote on COVID Policies:\nAs an affiliate organization of Blumenthal Performing Arts\, JazzArts Charlotte will be following BPA COVID-19 venue policies and safety guidelines throughout the season.
