Gig Alert: Adam O'Farrill

From the cover of Adam O'Farrill's new record.

ARTIST: Adam O'Farrill
GIG: Wednesday night at The Jazz Gallery

Trumpet player Adam O’Farrill is just 21, but he’s already rubbing shoulders with some of the contemporary jazz world’s biggest stars, including pianist Vijay Iyer and saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa. But he’s been doing that for a while, since his father, Arturo O’Farrill is one of the most respected bandleaders in the business—like his father, Chico O'Farrill, before him. So now it's Adam's turn: he's just released his debut as a bandleader, Stranger Days.
