Universal Truth

Description

Emmet Cohen, 2025 Pianist of the Year according to DownBeat magazine and critically acclaimed composer and bandleader, has not been idle. He has followed up sold-out tours around the world with a tribute to Miles Davis and John Coltrane, hosted "Live from Emmet's Place," the most-watched jazz webcast in the world, and recorded his new album, "Universal Truth." Accompanied by Joe Farnsworth, Yasushi Nakamura, Jeremy Pelt, Tivon Pennicott and guests Ron Carter and George Coleman, Emmet transposes his famous tribute into the studio, blending timeless classics ("Well You Needn't," "My Funny Valentine") with new original compositions that pay homage to jazz legends while resolutely inscribing themselves in the tradition.
