Birdland New York City, NYWhat an extraordinary treat. Just hearing Emmet Cohen is itself something special. But his guests were each extraordinary. Lucy Yeghiazaryan is a young swinger. Reminds me of Anita O’Day. Johnny O’Neal is a senior master who not only is a great pianist but a sweet moving singer. And then there’s the Queen, Mary Stallings, who has it all, amazing musicianship and beautiful to look at. The combination was out of this world!
The Appel Room New York City, NYIt was sublime! Emmet, T.J and Phillip blew the audience away. I particularly liked the communication between Emmet and TJ as they messed around with the rhythm. They are masters, and I hope they liked their welcome to Saskatchewan enough to come back some time. I never saw anyone with a touch like Emmet's. Phillip stole the show with a brilliant solo. What can I say? When you're the best you're the best!
JazzFest Regina Regina, SKThe most fabulous show - everyone in the trio was outstanding. Emmet is a wonderful pianist and composer. They played a variety of songs and each was superb. I understand that the earlier show was great and totally different music was played. My friend kept remarking that the intimacy of the theater made the experience remarkable. I am a true fan, will see Emmet whenever he comes to town.
SFJAZZ Center San Francisco, CAEmmet and his trio were great. Mr Cohen has respect for those that came before him, an education to fully understand the musical reason they were great and quite enough skill and heart to move Jazz into the future. Want to see what’s up with him? Check out his YouTube channel. Since lockdown in 2020 he has been posting on Monday nights. Mostly these are concerts from his Harlem residence.
