When it comes to stylistic range, inventiveness and technique, Emmet Cohen (born 1990) has few equals in in his cohort of jazz pianists. In pianist Brandon Goldberg (born 2006), however, Cohen may have found a worthy peer. Goldberg is the youngest semifinalist in the 2023 Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz International Piano Competition and youngest recipient of the 2022 ASCAP Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award. In this video, Goldberg and Cohen play four hands on one piano and obliterate a 12-bar blues. Listen for how they can take a fast solo and modulate it by whole or half tones; respond to each other’s riffs; remain true to the lineage of blues piano; and share joy with the audience.
