Adam O’Farrill’s Elephant
With Elephant, which is both a project and an album, trumpeter and composer Adam O’Farrill reaches a new artistic peak. He leads a quartet of rising New York musicians—pianist Yvonne Rogers, bassist Walter Stinson, and drummer Russell Holzman—into intricate rhythmic and harmonic frameworks shaped by remarkable breath control and unconventional phrasing.
The New York Times says that “O’Farrill is among the leading trumpet players in jazz—and perhaps the music’s next major improviser.” Adam has been featured with the likes of Hiromi, Mary Halvorson, Vijay Iyer, Anna Webber, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Mulatu Astatke, and Kaoru Watanabe, and has garnered widespread acclaim as a leader in his own right. Don’t miss this rising star on the NY jazz scene.
