ELEPHANT unites four rising New York–based musicians: O’Farrill\, pianist Yvonne Rogers\, bassist Wa lter Stinson\, and drummer Russell Holzman. Rogers combines deep study w ith fearless spontaneity\; Stinson balances consummate fundamentals with elastic\, expressive musicianship\; and Holzman—an old friend of O’Farr ill’s from LaGuardia High School—melds natural swing with high-precision \, electronic-rooted rhythms and a finely tuned sense of dynamics. ELEPH ANT draws from a wide constellation of musical influences—post-bop\, ele ctronic music\, classical minimalism\, Radiohead\, Jonny Greenwood’s fil m scores\, Ryuichi Sakamoto\, and more—absorbed organically rather than as overt crossover gestures. The album’s centerpiece\, The Sea Triptych\ , reflects water’s comfort and mystery across three pieces\, from the cr ashing textures of “Along the Malecon” to the ambient meditation “The Th ree of Us\, Floating” and the percussive\, groove-driven “Iris Murdoch.” Elsewhere\, the quartet’s striking reinvention of Sakamoto’s “Bibo No A ozora” replaces strings with trumpet\, delay\, and electronic harmony wi thout sacrificing the instrument’s essential voice. ELEPHANT captures O’ Farrill fully inhabiting his moment—confident\, curious\, and unafraid t o let contemporary influences reshape the language of modern jazz on his own terms. Bio: Brooklyn native and multi-racial composer and trumpeter \, Adam O’Farrill\, has "...established himself as one of the most impor tant musicians of the 21st Century" (NPR Fresh Air) and “a blazing young trumpet talent” (The New York Times). Of course\, none one of this come s as any surprise\, considering the rich musical lineage into which he w as born: Adam’s grandfather was the boundary-pushing Cuban composer and arranger\, Chico O’Farrill\; his father is the composer\, pianist\, and activist\, Arturo O’Farrill\; his mother\, Alison Deane\, is a classical pianist and educator\; his brother and frequent collaborator\, Zack O’F arrill\, is a drummer and musicologist. Adam himself has been featured w ith the likes of Hiromi\, Mary Halvorson\, Vijay Iyer\, Tyshawn Sorey\, Anna Webber\, Mulatu Astatke\, Son Lux\, Samora Pinderhughes\, Rudresh M ahanthappa\, and Photay\, and has garnered widespread acclaim as a leade r in his own right. Adam’s most recent album\, ELEPHANT\, was released i n 2026\, in which he fronted a quartet featuring Yvonne Rogers\, Walter Stinson\, and Russell Holzman\, playing music containing influences that are electronic\, cinematic\, and avant-garde. The album was critically acclaimed by The Wire\, Popmatters\, and The Observer\, who called the a lbum\, "...a propulsive journey through the sharp edges of modern improv isation." The album placed #3 on the 2026 Francis Davis Mid-Year Jazz Cr itics Poll. Prior to that\, Adam released four albums documenting his lo ngtime quartet Stranger Days\, including 2021’s Visions of Your Other\, was named one of 2021’s best jazz albums by The New York Times\, The Bos ton Globe\, and Popmatters\, and was awarded the Preis Der Deutschen Sch allplattenkritik in January 2022. In 2025\, O’Farrill released For These Streets\, a suite inspired by the culture\, literature\, and music of t he 1930’s\, performed by an octet composed of the world’s foremost impro visors\, including Mary Halvorson\, Patricia Brennan\, Kevin Sun\, David Leon\, Kalun Leung\, Tyrone Allen\, and Tomas Fujiwara. The Wall Street Journal says\, “Mr. O’Farrill here makes his boldest statement as a com poser…he extends a storied lineage…[and] has his own distinct vision.” I n 2026\, Adam won the Downbeat Critics Poll in three categories: Rising Star Artist\, Rising Star Trumpet\, and Rising Star Arranger. He has als o received awards and commissions from The Shifting Foundation\, The Jaz z Gallery\, Pierre Boulez Saal\, South Arts\, Baryshnikov Arts\, The Her mitage Artist Retreat\, Roulette\, and YoungArts. 1158 Broadway\, 5th fl oor (entrance on 27th st) New York NY 10001 info@jazzgallery.org Website by: Sea Envy Studio Mission Values Programs Blog Careers Volunteer Cont act Donate\n\nTickets: https://jazzgallery.org/calendar/adam-ofarrill-11 -18\n\nhttps://findlocal.community/event/08cce968-28ef-48a3-8011-3980c8d d251c LOCATION:The Jazz Gallery\, New York\, NY URL:https://findlocal.community/event/08cce968-28ef-48a3-8011-3980c8dd251 c STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
