Description

Emmet Cohen, DownBeat Magazine’s 2025 Pianist of the Year and critically acclaimed composer and bandleader, has been busy. Busy touring a Miles Davis & John Coltrane tribute to sold-out audiences across the world, busy running Live from Emmet’s Place as the “most highly watched regular online jazz show in the world,” and busy recording his new album, Universal Truth. With Joe Farnsworth, Yasushi Nakamura, Jeremy Pelt, Tivon Pennicott and guests Ron Carter and George Coleman, Emmet brings his celebrated tribute to the studio, pairing timeless classics (“Well You Needn’t,” “My Funny Valentine”) with new originals that honor jazz’s royalty while boldly carrying their tradition forward.
