“He’s quickly established himself as one of the most important musicians of the 21st Century” —NPR Fresh Air
A figurehead of the new American jazz scene, as much at home in the playful, fusion-oriented world of pianist Hiromi as in the more complex, alternative worlds of artists such as Mary Halvorson and Vijay Iyer, trumpeter Adam O’Farrill invents his own lyrical, harsh and resolutely avant-garde music, reinvesting in a very contemporary way the piano-free quartet immortalized by Ornette Coleman. Against this resolutely open backdrop, Adam O’Farrill develops a naturally syncretic universe of compositions that build bridges between tradition and modernity, reflecting both the melodic and rhythmic richness of his Cuban heritage (he is the grandson of legendary arranger Chico O’Farrill) and the abundance of mixed influences that continue to make New York jazz so distinctive.

Myra Melford Splash Trio
2026-10-25 20:00 - 22:00 | Alliance Française Theatre, 6161 Cambie Street, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 3B2, Canada
Legendary Jazz pianist Myra Melford returns to Vancouver for the first time in 7 years, along with Michael Formanek & Ches Smith
Get Tickets

Splash is an adventurous new trio led by visionary pianist/composer Myra Melford, featuring bassist Michael Formanek and drummer/vibraphonist Ches Smith. The project is the latest installment of Melford’s ongoing body of work inspired by and engaging with the work of the American post-abstract expressionist painter Cy Twombly. The bold, sudden action implicit in the trio’s name reflects the energy and motion captured on Twombly’s canvases, a physicality that drives Melford’s exploratory music.
On October 25, Myra will be bringing this trio to Vancouver for the first time, her first Vancouver performance in 7 years.
