Overview
EMMET COHEN TRIO Japan Tour 2025-2026 is a swinging, century-spanning jazz odyssey by Emmet Cohen (born 1990 in Miami), the virtuosic pianist whose stride-to-contemporary mastery—rooted in Monk, Tatum, and Jarrett—has redefined modern jazz since his 2011 Thelonious Monk Competition finals and debut In the Element. With over 1 million YouTube views via “Live from Emmett’s Place” (pandemic-era streams now global jazz TV), DownBeat Rising Star wins, and 2025 International Jazz Day Abu Dhabi honors, Cohen’s trio (with Russell Hall on bass, Kyle Poole on drums) delivers ~90–120 minute “jazz rampages” of Harlem stride, bebop burners, and original grooves amid intimate club vibes and crowd-surfing solos.
