When the clarinet glissando announced the beginning of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue on February 12, 1924, little did the audience in Aeolian Hall realize they were witnessing a landmark in American cultural and music history.
Kenny Banks Jr. made us Get Happy at the first Premiere Series of the 2019 American Pianists Awards, and we have been smiling nonstop since September 2018, as Billy Test, Keelan Dimick, Dave Meder and Emmet Cohen came through town!
This month we Take Five with Emmet Cohen and hear his musical impressions of Miami and New York among other topics.
Bonus material for episode nine of “The Journey,” which dives into the dynamic between singers and pianists from the perspective of 2015 American Pianists Awards winner Sullivan Fortner.
