Emmet Cohen - Uptown In Orbit - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In a time when life seemed to offer little joy for many people, at least that is how it seems to us today, they sought inner, InchtrueInch joy and poured their thoughts and feelings into music, capturing this radiance, this wellspring, and transforming it into sound on their new GENUIN album, Consort Ripieno Concertino presents Baroque ensemble music that brings joy to our hearts and a smile to our faces! The program features works by Johann Ludwig and Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Handel, Antonio Vivaldi, Giuseppe Sammartini, and Jean-Marie Leclair - delicately scored, transparently, and melodiously played. A source of warmth from days gone by.

At only 30 years old, pianist Emmet Cohen - the winner of the American Pianists Association's 2019 Cole Porter Fellowship - has made a name for himself performing/recording with such jazz masters as Jimmy Cobb, Ron Carter, Benny Golson, Tootie Heath and George Coleman, among others. On his new Mack Avenue album, Future Stride Cohen revisits jazz's earliest forms through a progressive lens with fine support from bassist Russell Hall, drummer Kyle Poole, trumpeter Marquis Hill and saxophonist Melissa Aldana.

Critically acclaimed pianist, composer and bandleader Emmet Cohen has traveled the world with his sold out performances, created and hosted the Inchmost highly watched regular online jazz show in the worldInch (The Guardian) with Live From Emmet's Place, and has earned a reputation for cultivating an atmosphere with his musicality for generations of musicians to find new inspiration. However, it's his friendship with jazz legend Michael Funmi Ononaiye, the iconic Vibe Provider, that has profoundly shaped his musical journey since 2012. On Vibe Provider, Cohen presents a masterful blend of original compositions and beloved classics, dedicated to his friend and mentor, Funmi, alongside an all-star band including Bruce Harris (trumpet), Tivon Pennicott (tenor saxophone), Frank Lacy (trombone), Cecily Petrarca (koshkah), Philip Norris (bass), Joe Farnsworth (drums) & Kyle Poole (drums, producer).
