In celebration of 100th Birthdays of John Coltrane and Miles Davis, pianist Emmet Cohen brings together an all-star quintet, including saxophonist Tivon Pennicott and trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, to explore the fundamental questions that shaped their artistry: Why are we here? What are we reaching for? Where does the music take us? Guided by the spirit of the infinite, Cohen continues the journey set forth by the architects of jazz — seeking deeper truths through sound. A champion of musical community, Cohen believes in jazz as a living, evolving conversation — one that unites people across time and place.

Possessing a fluid technique, innovative tonal palette, and extensive repertoire, Cohen plays with the passion of an artist fully devoted to his medium. He has performed at the Village Vanguard, the Blue Note, Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, Birdland, Jazz Standard, London’s Ronnie Scott’s, Jazzhaus Montmartre in Copenhagen, Lincoln Center’s Rose Hall, the Cotton Club in Tokyo, and the Kennedy Center. Join Cohen and his ensemble for a bold, reimagined experience of the music that forever changed the course of jazz.
