With his first album as the leader of a quartet, acclaimed jazz trumpeter Adam O’Farrill is simply astounding. I reviewed ELEPHANT - probably my favorite jazz album of the year so far - for PopMatters. www.popmatters.com/adam-ofarril...

Deerlady - Greatest Hits [deluxe edition] is out now! It has two remixed tracks by Adrian Olsen of Montrose Recording, and they sound great. NYC be sure to check out the concert this Sunday at National Sawdust. This album is awesome, enjoy! outofyourheadrecords.lnk.to/GreatestHits...

I first heard Adam O'Farrill play on Rudresh Mahanthappa's excellent 2015 album Bird Calls, and he hasn't stopped surprising me since. His new quartet record, ELEPHANT, is easily one of the best jazz releases of the year.

The rhythmic cat and mouse harmonic machinations of the opening track of trumpeter's Adam O'Farrill exquisite new release Elephant lives up its title as twists and turns abound...with Yvonne Rogers, bassist Walter Stinson, and drummer Russell Holzman #JazzMusic #JazzSky #NowPlaying #Curve

If I win the lottery big I'm going to program my ideal #JazzFestival, which at this moment would consist of: ØKSE Smirk WRENS 700 Bliss History Dog Backengrillen Trio of Bloom Tomeka Reid Quartet Billy Mohler's The Eternal Travis Reuter's Quintet Music Amirtha Kidambi's Elder Ones just to start

My favorite mode of jazz isn't all the way out, but stuff that's looking out from the doorway, dreamy, grounded. And this Tomeka Reid record is right in that sweet spot: heavy, in the pocket, but a full trip outofyourheadrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dance-...
