Emmet Cohen Quintet @ Kay Meek Arts Centre - West Vancouver, BC at Kay Meek Arts Centre

About

Creator of Live from Emmet’s Place, the most-viewed online jazz show in the world, and winner of the American Jazz Pianist Competition, Emmet Cohen has gained a reputation for connecting with audiences through his artistry and commitment to intergenerational exchange. With the Emmet Cohen Trio plus special guests Tivon Pennicott and Jeremy Pelt, he celebrates the centennial of perhaps the two greatest names in jazz history: Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Featuring Jeremy Pelt on trumpet—named a Rising Star by Downbeat Magazine—and Tivon Pennicott on tenor sax—whose “earthbound yet galactic” style earned him the label “sonic healer” (All About Jazz), the ensemble gives their slant on the legacy of the two jazz greats in a concert sure to be warmly familiar and also something entirely new.
