“When Cohen is in full flight, with Poole slamming the kit around the room behind him, he reminds me of Ahmad Jamal: not the genteel Jamal you hear on record, but the wall-banging, holy-shit Jamal I saw in concert a few years ago, who rolled across the keyboard like a thunderstorm.” — Phil Freeman, Stereogumr

“Let’s not mince words. Everything you want from a great jazz trio recording- electricity, pacing, innovation, dynamic virtuosity and interplay, flights of fancy and passion -are found in great abundance on Emmet Cohen’s newest Master Legacy Series Volume 2. Cohen, whose energy, dexterity, and seemingly boundless inventiveness makes him the man to listen for years to come, bounces snatches of Monk to and fro.”— Mike Jurkovic, All About Jazz

A virtuosic and multi-faceted pianist, Emmet Cohen is known for his deep grasp of jazz traditions, from stride and bop to Latin and modal styles. A gifted improviser since his teens, Cohen first garnered attention playing around New York in the 2010s and has worked with a bevy of luminaries including Christian McBride, Herlin Riley, Ali Jackson, and Brian Lynch.

Philip Norris has played in various parts of the world including Switzerland, Bolivia. He has also played with artists such as: Wynton Marsalis, Ulysses Owens Jr., Harold Mabern, Joe Farnsworth, Eric Alexander, Jeff Hamilton, Helen Sung, Catherine Russell, Kenny Washington, Elio Vilafranca, Igor Butman, and many more. Philip is currently playing in New York City and abroad with many of these artists as he continues his studies at The Juilliard School.

Hailed by Jazz Speaks as a "young prodigious drummer", Los Angeles native Kyle Poole has been residing in New York City since 2011 and continues to impress wherever his drums take him next. Along with his band of fellow NY jazz upstarts aptly titled "Poole & the Gang", Kyle has performed in New York's most esteemed jazz clubs, notably Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola & SMOKE Jazz, culminating in a weekly residency at Small's Jazz Club lasting nearly 3 years. One of Poole's chief missions, is to expand jazz's audience by incorporating all dance styles of music, reaching back to ragtime & bebop, while forging ahead all the way to funk, hip-hop & beyond.

Ekep Nkwelle is one of the new stars on the jazz scene. The singer, who is only 25 years old, already attracted attention during her first steps on her journey into the jazz world at the famous Duke Ellinton School of the Arts and the Juilliard School and was supported by none other than Wynton Marsalis. She has shared the stage with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Russell Malone, Peter Washington or the great Dee Dee Bridgewater, but also with the world-famous classical virtuoso Lang Lang. Her powerful and extraordinarily expressive voice will be heard many more times in the years to come!
