ABOUT

Brooklyn-bred artist Adam O’Farrill has been heralded as “among the the leading trumpeters in jazz- and perhaps the music’s next major improviser.” (The New York Times). Born into a musical legacy that includes composer Chico O’Farrill and pianist Arturo O’Farrill, Adam has since collaborated with artists such as Mary Halvorson, Hiromi, Vijay Iyer, Anna Webber, Tyshawn Sorey, Mulatu Astatke, Samora Pinderhughes, Son Lux, Kevin Sun, and Mali Obomsawin. Adam’s most recent album, the 1930s-inspired For These Streets, was featured on NPR Alt.Latino, Bandcamp’s Best of Jazz April 2025, and of which Downbeat Magazine wrote, “For These Streets is an ambitious outing of orchestral soundscapes and dreamy meditations brougt to life by an all-star octet.” Prior to this, O’Farrill released HUESO, featuring his quartet, Stranger Days, which was recorded following a residency at Morning Glory Farm, exploring the integration of farming work into the creative process. For his work as a composer and bandleader, Adam has received awards, commissions, and grants from the ASCAP Foundation, the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, The Jazz Gallery, Roulette, The Shifting Foundation, and South Arts, and additionally won the 2021 Downbeat Critics Poll for Rising Star Trumpet.
