Emmet Cohen is a contemporary jazz pianist and composer recognized for his deeply rooted approach to the jazz tradition, blending virtuosic technique with a strong emphasis on swing and improvisation. His musical style draws heavily from the post-bop era, particularly influenced by artists like Oscar Peterson and McCoy Tyner, while incorporating elements of stride piano and blues. Cohen frequently leads the “Emmet Cohen Trio,” known for its dynamic interplay and consistently sold-out performances. He also curates the “Masters’ Legacy Series” which celebrates legendary jazz figures.

Birdland Marina is an outdoor performance venue affiliated with the historic Birdland Jazz Club in New York City. Originally established in 1949, Birdland quickly became one of the most important jazz clubs globally, hosting iconic performers like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. While the original club location changed over time, it re-established itself at 315 West 44th Street in Manhattan. Birdland Marina extends the club’s presence with an open-air setting offering a more casual atmosphere for live jazz during warmer months. The marina space aims to bring the legacy of Birdland to a broader audience in a unique waterfront environment along the Hudson River.
