about

Sefa means “delight” in Turkish. Loco means “mad” in Spanish. “SeFa LoCo” also combines the opening letters of the names of this group’s members, who came together for a freely-improvised recording session that was part of the Creative Music Series in Casper, Wyoming in early 2021.

As the name implies, Creosote is a study of the darker, dirtier side of jazz. Long improvised passages explore dissonance, coarse textures, shadowy melodic contrasts and meditative headspaces. The quartet’s virtuosity and fluid chemistry drive a sense of fearless adventure throughout.

Meet SeFa LoCo:

Ron Coulter is the founding coordinator of the Series and the impetus behind the project. He is a percussionist, composer, and improviser with a long list of credits to his name.

Saxophonist Bret Sexton grew up in Wyoming and is now active in the Denver jazz and improvised music scenes. Cadence Magazine said, “Sexton is a passionate pointillist-expressionist, his playing is full of the unfettered imagination, fervent arrogance and tonal unpredictability that makes for a distinctive improviser.”

Farrell Lowe is a guitarist and multi-faceted artist. His prolific work spans jazz, experimental, world fusion and free improvisation, and stylistic versatility places him among leading innovators of his instrument over nearly four decades.

Mike Facey is a bass player, session musician and educator, prominent in Denver music circles and distinguished by a melodic sensibility and fluidity between genres and styles.

Together, the quartet has a remarkable chemistry. Listen for yourself...
