➡️ Emmet Cohen, DownBeat Magazine’s Rising Star artist of 2024, brings his trio and guest vocalist Georgia Heers to celebrate Berkshires Jazz’ twenty years of bringing world-class jazz to the Berkshires. Now just 35, Cohen has been one of the hottest performers on the global festival circuit for a decade. His latest album, Vibe Provider, was DownBeat’s album of the year for 2024.
The weekly concerts streamed from his apartment during the coronavirus pandemic helped maintain a worldwide presence for jazz and brought acclaim for the former jazz prodigy. Hear why during this special event celebrating Berkshires Jazz’s two decades of jazz performances, education, and advocacy!
➡️Georgia Heers, a vocalist and composer from Greer, South Carolina, studied jazz at Oberlin College and Juilliard. Since graduating in 2023, her voice has taken her to iconic venues like Mezzrow, Dizzy’s, and Minton’s Playhouse, performing with musicians such as Terrell Stafford, Cyrus Chestnut, and Camila Meza. She’s performed at prestigious locations like the Kennedy Center and the Jazz Showcase.
Heers is featured in George Clooney’s Broadway adaptation of “Goodnight and Good Luck" — the first Broadway play ever to be broadcast on national television, airing on CNN. Her performance in the production marks a major milestone in her career, showcasing her talents on a historic stage and screen.
Heers is a grantee of Chamber Music America for her work. She plans to record her debut album this season.
