The internationally acclaimed jazz pianist and composer Emmet Cohen is set to perform with his trio at the historic Boulder Theater on Thursday, January 16, 2025. A dynamic force in the jazz world, Cohen’s music is celebrated for its virtuosity, innovation, and ability to captivate audiences worldwide.

Emmet Cohen, a leader among his generation of jazz artists, is renowned for his creative prowess and entrepreneurial spirit. The winner of the 2019 American Pianists Awards and a finalist in the 2011 Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition, Cohen is also the creator of the Masters Legacy Series, which highlights jazz greats. He frequently headlines at prestigious venues such as Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Village Vanguard, and Birdland, and has graced stages at iconic festivals like Newport, Monterey, and North Sea Jazz.

Beyond live performances, Cohen has gained global recognition through his livestreamed series, "Live From Emmet’s Place," a modern take on Harlem rent parties that has reached millions across the internet.

Phil Freeman of Stereogum writes:
"When Cohen is in full flight, with Poole slamming the kit around the room behind him, he reminds me of Ahmad Jamal: not the genteel Jamal you hear on record, but the wall-banging, holy-shit Jamal I saw in concert a few years ago, who rolled across the keyboard like a thunderstorm."

Don’t miss this extraordinary night of jazz at the Boulder Theater, featuring one of the most talented and innovative pianists in contemporary jazz.
