The Princeton Jazz Quartet featurin Joe Cohn & StEve Wilson is set to perform on Monday, May 24th at 8pm at the Limerick Bar at Rosie O'Grady's Times Square. Tickets are $20 and includes one drink.

Alumni of Princeton, these four musicians met and played together in the several jazz groups thriving on the campus during the late 1950's. The next half-century found them pursuing varied and separate paths.

Reunited now in the 21st century, the group first became a regular attraction at the Princeton Club of New York. The Princeton Jazz Quartet's repertoire blends classics from the Great American Songbook with modern jazz standards. Now the group is featured at prominent jazz clubs in New York and Internationally.

Joe Cohn was fated to a life in music by his antecedents and early exposure to the greatest musicians and composers, Joe, son of legendary saxophonist Al Cohn and vocalist Marylin Moore, has steadily risen to the fore and made his mark as one of the most inventive and catalytic guitarists in jazz. Joe emerged from his years at the Berklee School of Music in the late 70s as a multi-instrumentalist, and is no less impressive on trumpet. His work on guitar is consistently applauded and favorably reviewed. His professional experience as a guitarist is of the first order. He has toured and played with groups led by his father, Al Cohn (1979-87, including Europe), Freddy Cole (touring Brazil), Bob Mover, Nick Brignola, Artie Shaw, Zoot Sims, Buddy DeFranco (ongoing), Al Grey (ongoing), Warren Chiasson (ongoing), Carmine Leggio (ongoing), Claude "Fiddler" Williams (ongoing) and, of course, Harry Allen. On the New York City jazz club and concert scene, he has played the famous Blue Note with Al Cohn, Artie Shaw and Al Grey, Fat Tuesday's and Sweet Basil with Al Grey, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion with Artie Shaw and Lincoln Center with Hank Jones and Wynton Marsalis. On the international scene, he has played the Oslo Jazz Festival with Frank Wess, has played the annual jazz cruise on board the SS Norway with Al Grey, and wowed them at the Lionel Hampton Club in Paris with Duffy Jackson.
