For These Streets is a huge step forward for O’Farrill as a composer, inspired by the literature, music, and film if the 1930s, and performed by one of the best ensembles we’ve heard in a long time. I know we’re biased, but we highly recommend taking a listen!

“O’Farrill’s angular drive never forsakes melodic intent, making his music feel simultaneously exploratory, airy, disciplined, and often gently expressive. Designing charts with intricate cross-hatched lines, he stands at the peak of his compositional prowess.” —JazzTrail
