Tune in to WKCR tomorrow, Friday 16th, during Out to Lunch at 1pm, as the Alfredo Colon sextet joins host Satchel Peterson with a set of original music. With him, Alfredo brings a group of some of the most talented emerging artists present on the New York jazz scene today including: Ryan Easter on trumpet, Lex Korten on piano, Steve Williams on bass, and Connor Parks on drums. Stick around after the set for an interview with Alfredo about his latest music and upcoming performances.

Alfredo Colon is a Dominican-American saxophonist and composer as well as a proud New York City native. He has performed with artists such as Aaron Parks, Cautious Clay, Arturo O’Farrill, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, William Parker and Henry Threadgill. He has presented works at spaces such as NYC Winter Jazz Fest, The Jazz Gallery, Bronx Arts Space, and Roulette Intermedium (of which Alfredo is currently a resident artist for their 2023-24 season). His playing has been described as authoritative and fiery yet mournful and melodic.
