Dominican-American saxophonist and composer Alfredo Colón is a proud New York City native. His playing has been described as authoritative and fiery, yet mournful and melodic. Drawing on his interest in Dominican folklore and the works of visionary saxophonists Albert Ayler and Ornette Coleman, Colón creates a musical atmosphere that highlights beauty by framing it in disarray.
Colón has performed with artists such as Moses Sumney, Harish Raghavan, Aaron Parks, 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. He was awarded Roulette Intermedium’s Van Lier Fellowship in 2022.
