Original show description below.
The trumpeter and grandson of Latin Jazz pioneer Chico O’Farrill makes his West Coast debut with his cinematically inspired Stranger Days quartet.
FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL:
"In an era when big bands often sound small and nuanced and when smaller ensembles favor intimate and pristine approaches, Stranger Days, the quartet led by 23-year-old trumpeter Adam O’Farrill, offers boisterous, spirited music that frequently sounds like it comes from a much larger group. On its recently released second album, El Maquech (Biophilla), the band presents rambunctious music that is equally rustic and modern. Mr. O’Farrill is on the fast track toward jazz prominence.
With its jazz roots and wide variety of other cultural influences, Stranger Days has the feel of contemporary Brooklyn."
