David Bennett Cohen — live event
Come help David Bennett Cohen celebrate his 84th birthday !"Mr. Cohen isn't the average hippie gone Wall Street, he's also a certifiably smokin' barrel house rumba boogie-woogie piano player in the James Booker/Professor Longhair/Dr. John vein."

"Cohen radiates the 88's impeccably.” (CMJ New Music Report) Cohen, an authentic master of blues, boogie-woogie and New Orleans R&B piano, and his simpatico friends extract maximum fun or drama from six strong, delightful original songs. The main man also sings with full-of-feeling personality. Give Bittersweet a listen! (Frank-John Hadley, Longtime DownBeat critic)
