Black Cat presents a rare convergence of two major voices in modern jazz, each shaped by the towering legacy of John Coltrane yet speaking in distinct musical languages of their own. Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Wayne Escoffery brings a sound critics have called a “contemporary mix of Coltrane, Shorter and Henderson influences,” powerful, passionate, and unmistakably his own. Sharing the stage is Miami-based pianist Tal Cohen, a Grammy-winning artist whose playing weaves folk melodies and classical influence into deeply personal, modern jazz harmony.
