Locomotive is a double trio co-led by saxophonist-composer David Leon and trumpeter-composer Adam O’Farrill. Joined by guitarists Eli Greenhoe and Tal Yahalom, and percussionists Murph Aucamp and Daniel Prim, the band creates a sound that is as experimental as it is rooted in a mix of folkloric musical traditions. Named after the Thelonious Monk’s composition, of which the band has a changüi-inspired arrangement, Locomotive is a band that operates at the crossroads of freedom and structure, provoking listeners to dance, think, and everything in between.
