Streaming on Facebook tomorrow Emmet Cohen with Warren Wolf, Russell Hall and Kyle Poole is a must. Why? Well Wolf is one of the greatest modern mainstream vibists alive and Cohen himself is on a roll. Because as previously looked forward to in these pages Cohen has a Mack Avenue release Future Stride to be issued on 29 January and with him are bassist Hall, drummer Poole, trumpeter Marquis Hill and saxophonist Melissa Aldana. What we have heard so far is pretty tasty to say the least.

What is in store on the album includes a trio treatment of 'Dardanella,' a song that dates back however in a very different vocals incarnation to at least 1920 and whose later versions most relevantly include a dazzling solo piano treatment by Art Tatum in the late-40s, and is streaming ahead of Future Stride's release. Cohen's style ingredients in this instance dart progressively on within the prism of his own sound. If you like Adam Makowicz on the Tatum side and Cohen's label mate Aaron Diehl in terms of a roster then discover Emmet Cohen for sure on your way to the Harlem heritage heard in his sound explored on the album.
