About the Artists
A Mack Avenue recording artist, Cohen’s releases include Future Stride (2021), Uptown in Orbit (2022), Vibe Provider (2024), and Universal Truth (2026). These recordings trace a distinctive artistic arc—combining stride, swing, bebop, and modern jazz to create a unique and deeply personal aesthetic. The release of Universal Truth coincides with the launch of a year-long quintet tour celebrating the centennial birthdays of Miles Davis and John Coltrane.
Cohen has performed in over 40 countries and appeared at many of the world’s most respected venues and festivals, including the Village Vanguard, Birdland, Carnegie Hall, the Newport Jazz Festival, and the Monterey Jazz Festival. For many years, he served as Hammond B-3 organist in-residence at Harlem’s SMOKE Jazz Club. He has also participated in International Jazz Day celebrations led by Herbie Hancock, a worldwide broadcast underscoring Cohen’s global presence within the art form.
Beyond performance, Cohen plays an active role in shaping the broader jazz ecosystem. He serves as host of The Jazz Cruise and is a member of its programming team, and he has been chosen as Artistic Partner of the 2027 American Piano Awards—significant roles that reflect his ongoing investment in artistic leadership and the long-term vitality of the music.
Cohen’s honors include winning the 2019 American Piano Awards and being named DownBeat Readers Poll Pianist of the Year (2025). In 2023, he was honored by the Jazz Journalists Association with two awards: Pianist of the Year and Livestream Producer of the Year. He holds a Master’s degree from the Manhattan School of Music and completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music.
