SUMMARY:Adam O'Farrill's Elephant
DESCRIPTION:One of New York’s hottest trumpeters brings his band to Vancouver for the first time. \nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n“He’s quickly established himself as one of the most important musicians of the 21st Century” —NPR Fresh Air \nA 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. \nAdam O’Farrill trumpet\, electronics \nYvonne Rogers piano\, synthesizer \nWalter Stinson double bass \nRussell Holzman drums \nThis concert is presented by Infidels Jazz and is part of VanJazz2026 \nAdam O’Farrill’s Elephant \nAlliances Theatre Fracais 6161 Cambie \nOctober 23\, 2026 \n730PM Doors \n800PM Show \n$40 in advance \n$50 at the door

Since then\, their discography has grown to include fan-favorite albums such as Octagon (2015)\, Caldera (2017)\, Man from the Future (2020)\, and Life From Below (2025). Each release showcases their fearless exploration of genre boundaries and their commitment to crafting vibrant\, deeply textured soundscapes. \nLast year’s Life From Below marked an exciting chapter for Polyrhythmics\, delivering a fresh collection of grooves infused with the bold creativity and signature tight-knit musicianship that fans have come to expect. The band reflects on over a decade and a half of musical evolution\, countless miles on the road\, and a loyal community of listeners that continues to grow. \nOver the years\, Polyrhythmics have graced stages at major festivals and renowned venues across the United States and internationally\, sharing bills with legendary artists while carving out a distinct space in the global funk and soul scene.
