Description:

This album serves as a heartfelt dedication to our dear brother, Michael Funmi Ononaiye (1968- 2023). It's a rare privilege to encounter a human being with such an unmistakable forcefield of optimism and hope radiating around them. Funmi lived his life connecting and inspiring peopleâ??artists, musicians, thinkers, healers, community leaders, and anyone else who would listen. Always omnipresent, Funmi would attend clubs, festivals, and recording sessions worldwide, urging musicians to dig deeper and summon those unforgettable, magical moments we seem to keep with us forever. He possessed the remarkable ability to reset any vibe with a wise reflection and a deep laugh. Together, we navigated through the challenges of the pandemic, and Funmi was instrumental in forming our online show, Live From Emmetâ??s Place, attending over 100 episodes and contributing indispensable ideas for guest artists and themes. During the initial stages, he often found himself as the sole listener in the roomâ??an audience of one, yet his presence resonated as powerfully as a full club! His timeless counsel to us remains: keep the music natural, groovy, diverse, and infused with love. Affectionately dubbed by many as the â??Vibe Provider,â? Funmi infused unmatched vibrancy and exuberance into every situation. Not only did he embody these qualities himself, but he also instilled in each of us the notion that we are all â??vibe providers,â? wielding the power to uplift and brighten the world around us! -

Critically acclaimed pianist, composer and bandleader Emmet Cohen has traveled the world with his sold out performances, created and hosted the "most highly watched regular online jazz show in the world" (The Guardian) with Live From Emmet's Place, and has earned a reputation for cultivating an atmosphere with his musicality for generations of musicians to find new inspiration. However, it's his friendship with jazz legend Michael Funmi Ononaiye, the iconic Vibe Provider, that has profoundly shaped his musical journey since 2012. On Vibe Provider, Cohen presents a masterful blend of original compositions and beloved classics, dedicated to his friend and mentor, Funmi, alongside an all-star band including: Bruce Harris (trumpet), Tivon Pennicott (tenor saxophone), Frank Lacy (trombone), Cecily Petrarca (koshkah), Philip Norris (bass), Joe Farnsworth (drums) & Kyle Poole (drums, producer).
