Emmet Cohen live in New York

Experience Emmet Cohen live on September 8th

Emmet Cohen will be performing at Birdland Marina in New York City on September 8, 2026. Cohen is a jazz pianist and composer recognized for his deeply rooted approach to the piano tradition, blending virtuosic technique with a strong emphasis on swing and melodic improvisation. His style draws heavily from masters like Nat Adderley and Oscar Peterson, yet incorporates a contemporary sensibility evident in his original compositions and arrangements. He frequently leads the “Emmet Cohen Trio,” known for its dynamic interplay and consistently sold-out performances.

Birdland Marina is an extension of the legendary Birdland jazz club, originally founded in 1949. While the original Birdland closed in 1965, it became a pivotal location in jazz history, hosting performances by Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and countless others. The current Birdland reopened in 1986 and has continued to be a prominent venue for both established and emerging jazz artists. Birdland Marina specifically represents an outdoor performance space affiliated with the club, offering a more relaxed setting while maintaining the venue’s commitment to presenting high-quality jazz music. It provides an alternative to the intimate indoor setting of the main club.
