The pianist combines his dazzling technical mastery with a rare gift for melody, and above all he honors the jazz tradition while bringing a modern, relevant and most welcome angle to it. Emmet Cohen regularly appears alongside Ron Carter, Kurt Elling, Billy Hart, Brian Lynch, Christian McBride, Veronica Swift and others. As for the trio's guest, he comes from the Coltrane and Cannonbal Adderley lineage, and is a rising star in his own right: violist Patrick Bartley, who has collaborated with Jon Batiste and Wynton Marsalis. Spearheading today's New York jazz scene, Emmet Cohen stands out as a true ambassador of jazz thanks to his "Live From Emmet's Place" online concert series. There's no doubt that this prestigious line-up will write one of the festival's finest pages.
