Emmet Cohen live in New York

Experience Emmet Cohen live on September 12th

Emmet Cohen will be performing at Birdland Marina in New York City on September 12, 2026. Cohen is a jazz pianist and composer known for his deeply rooted style within the hard bop and post-bop traditions. His playing emphasizes swinging rhythms, harmonic sophistication, and a strong connection to the lineage of jazz piano masters like Bud Powell and Oscar Peterson, while also incorporating contemporary influences. He frequently leads the “Masters’ Legacy” series, celebrating prominent figures in jazz history.

Birdland Marina is an outdoor performance space affiliated with the legendary Birdland Jazz Club, which originally opened in 1949 and became a cornerstone of the bebop era. The original Birdland closed in 1965, but the name was revived in 1986 at a new location. Birdland Marina represents an expansion of the club’s offerings, providing a waterfront venue for jazz performances during warmer months. Located on the Hudson River, it offers a more casual atmosphere than the intimate interior of the main Birdland club. The Marina space aims to bring live jazz to a broader audience within a scenic setting. It continues Birdland’s long-standing commitment to presenting established and emerging jazz artists.
