Pianist/bandleader Emmet Cohen is one of the most in-demand musicians in New York.

Trumpeter Bruce Harris has earned a reputation as one of the most important and emerging voices in jazz today.   He has made appearances on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.  He has appeared alongside with Wynton Marsalis & the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Dave Brubeck, Billy Taylor, The Count Basie Orchestra, Michael Feinstein, Barry Harris, Roy Hargrove, and Tony Bennett.
