Adam O'Farrill- trumpet, Xavier Del Castillo- tenor sax, Walter Stinson- bass, Victor Pablo- drums

Trumpeter and composer Adam O’Farrill comes from one of America’s more musical families. His grandfather, Chico O’Farrill, was the brilliant Cuban arranger and composer and bandleader who helped introduce Afro-Cuban music to the United States, collaborating with Dizzy Gillespie, Machito and Stan Kenton, among others. The elder O’Farrill moved to the United States, and his son, Adam’s father, Arturo, is a gifted pianist and bandleader, the director of the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra. In 2019 Adam won the Rising Star Trumpet award in Downbeat Magazine, and the recordings he and his band, Stranger Days have made, are regularly featured on top 10 jazz lists. He has a broad reach, drawing on all sorts of musics, and playing with Rudresh Mahanthappa, Mary Halvorson and other members of the avant guard; Adam was here last year as part of the saxophonist Kevin Sun’s band.

"If you pay close enough attention to jazz, Adam O’Farrill might have landed on your radar about a decade ago, when he was still an adolescent. His last name is immediately recognizable — his father and grandfather are Latin jazz royalty — but he stood apart even then, mostly by hanging back and letting his trumpet speak for itself. - Giovanni Russonello, The New York Times, Sept. 9, 2021
