Jazz in NYC: Emmet Cohen Trio at Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola in Sept, 2019

Fun, vibrancy, and grace are signature features of Emmet Cohen‘s  playing. Supported by his trio, which includes bassist Russell Hall and drummer Kyle Poole, the musicians bring back the sparkle and zest of jazzy days of the past.

Committed to the preservation of the treasured American musical tradition, Cohen is leading the project of transferring the artistic knowledge and history from the generation of established jazz titans like the bassist Ron Carter and the drummer Tootie Heath to the younger audience. Recording and producing sessions with legendary musicians make up his professional undertaking the “Masters Legacy Series.” He serves as both producer and pianist for each album in the series.

Winner of the 2019 American Pianists Association’s Grand Prize, 2019 Cole Porter Fellowship and recording residency with Mack Avenue Records, Cohen joins a prominent lineup of past awardees such as Sullivan Fortner, Aaron Parks, Dan Tepfer, and Aaron Diehl.

The excitement, warmth, and utmost elegance of playing the well-recognized staples of jazz repertoire make performances by Emmet Cohen Trio a must-see for every music lover. That was very clear in July of this year when Emmet Cohen Trio performed with Veronica Swift at Birdland  to a sold-out house. Keeping in mind the popularity of the venerable Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, consider reserving ahead as space is limited.

Music in NYC: Mozart a la Haydn by Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra and Steven Osborne, piano

Music in NYC: Mozart a la Haydn by Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra and Steven Osborne, piano

Mostly Mozart Festival Finale with Mozart à la Haydn program performed by pianist Steven Osborne and Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra with Louis Langrée conducting on Friday, August 9, 2019 at 7:30 pm and Saturday, August 10, 2019 at 7:30 pm at David Geffen Hall

The Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra’s 2019 season ends on a lighthearted note, with four works that are more connected than they may seem at first glance. Pianist Steven Osborne performs the cheerful piano concerto Shostakovich composed for his son Maxim’s 19th birthday. Maxim, then a budding pianist, is said to have been the inspiration for the tongue-in-cheek inclusion of the Hanon piano exercises in the final movement, a musical joke. Schnittke displays a similar sense of humor in his Moz-Art à la Haydn, in which every note in the piece has been repurposed from either Haydn or Mozart. Beginning with dimmed lights, it quotes Haydn’s “Farewell” Symphony and Mozart’s Symphony No. 40, incorporating stage-play among the musicians, and, like the Farewell, leaving the conductor alone at the end. Mozart’s beloved “Haffner” Symphony, one of the composer’s most challenging, yet fun, works, is a joyous conclusion to the summer.
