BIMHUIS TV Presents: EMMET COHEN TRIO

American pianist sheds new light on traditional styles, tipping his hat to past masters of jazz.
Emmet Cohen piano, Philip Norris double bass, Kyle Poole drums
With his fluent piano playing, Emmet Cohen brings the tradition of jazz to the forefront while providing the modern twist needed for the current times. On his previous album Future Stride he breathed new life into the one hundred year old style of piano virtuosos such as James P. Johnson and Fats Waller. The title of his new album Uptown In Orbit references Blues In Orbit by Duke Ellington, as well as the New York neighborhood Harlem (‘Uptown’)-Cohen lives there in the same street as Ellington once lived.
As a finalist of the Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition, Emmet Cohen was received at the White House by president Obama at age twenty-one. Cohen learned vintage piano styles through his regular gigs in jazz clubs and by collaborating with veterans such as Benny Golson, Ron Carter and Jimmy Cobb. On KZbin he created the popular series Live From Emmet’s Place, with sessions from his apartment that featured illustrious guest musicians such as Veronica Swift, Nicolas Payton en Christian McBride.

On visiting Amsterdam last year I saw the Bimhuis building and thought how great it would be to see a concert there. This is the one I wish I'd seen.

[@jamesgugle7789]

The piano player is giving me Chris Cornell vibes with his look. And I'm loving that there seems to be a strong crop of younger jazz talent coming to the fore in all the genres of jazz.

[@svoorkest1502]

This is so old school… where is the new jazz???? Come on please

[@91productions35]

thats up to you to make brother

[@giedriusnakas5795]

that's the best of the best of TODAY's musicians. if you don't enjoy the masterful interplay of this kind of music - you probably don't like this music :)) plenty of hiphop, lofi, pop, avantgarde, electronic artists everywhere, some even on this channel, don't be lazy and go check for yourself :)

[@jdshutman]

Yikes. Those who know, remember, and understand the roots are the present poets and innovators. Respectfully, listen to some more "old" school, or better try some, ... the try transcribing some of this music, and then opine. Come on please!

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

What is New jazz?....do tell us, Genius.

[@jeanpierrethirault4828]

Ce n'est pas du jazz old school et quand bien même ,le son est moderne
