The YUJC is honored to have the Emmet Cohen Trio as our headline act!! A multifaceted American jazz pianist and composer, Emmet Cohen is one of his generation's pivotal figures in music and the related arts. Leader of the Emmet Cohen Trio and creator of the Masters Legacy Series, he is an internationally acclaimed jazz artist, a dedicated educator, the winner of the 2019 American Pianists Awards, and a finalist in the 2011 Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition. Cohen headlines regularly at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Village Vanguard, and Birdland, and has appeared at the Newport, Monterey, and North Sea jazz festivals. His artistry has taken him to venues and festivals in over 30 countries and his Covid lockdown brainchild, "Live From Emmet's Place," a live-streamed "Harlem rent party" style series has united a worldwide audience via tens of millions of streams. Join us Sunday, April 14th, for a wonderful night of jazz to cap off the 11th Annual Jazz Festival @ Yale!!
