Emmet Cohen
Miles and Coltrane at 100
When thinking of jazz and the most mainstream touchstones of this wholly American art form, the first two names that come to mind are Miles Davis and John Coltrane. In 2026, we celebrate the 100th birthdays of these cultural icons!
For one night only, a dynamic ensemble led by Emmet Cohen, featuring saxophonist Tivon Pennicott and trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, will celebrate these geniuses in Miles and Coltrane at 100. The quintet will perform a wide range of tunes made famous over the decades of both Davis and Coltrane's storied output, both together in the First Great Quintet and after. Audiences will experience the virtuosity, style, and elegance of five of the top young players interpreting some of the most recognizable, acclaimed American music ever written.
Multifaceted American jazz pianist and composer, Emmet Cohen is one of his generation's most pivotal figures in music and the related arts. Leader of the Emmet Cohen Trio and creator of the Masters Legacy Series, Cohen is an internationally acclaimed jazz artist and dedicated educator whose artistry has taken him to venues and festivals in over 30 countries. He headlines regularly at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Village Vanguard, and Birdland, and has appeared at the Newport Jazz Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, and North Sea Jazz Festival among others.
Emmet's entrepreneurial energies led to his developing "Live from Emmet's Place," a live-streamed "Harlem rent party" that unites a worldwide audience via tens of millions of internet views. Besides leading the Emmet Cohen Trio, he has appeared regularly with Ron Carter, Benny Golson, Jimmy Cobb, Goerge Coleman, Jimmy Heath, Tootie Heath, Houston Person, Kurt Elling, Billy Hart, and Brian Lynch among others.
