More about the Musicians:
2x National Jazz Award winners, GRAMMY Award long-listers and heralded as “the new standard in electric-jazz” by the NPR, NYC — BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO from Brooklyn, NY is an electric-jazz powerhouse colliding Black American Music artforms (hip-hop, funk, soul, r’n’b, jungle) with jazz narratives, extrapolating the ideologies of Miles Davis & Randy Brecker. This dynamic threesome combines virtuosic performance skills with a deep knowledge of the jazz lineage, all set against an energized urban sonic backdrop, their chart-topping albums “Juggernaut” and “Gravitation” capturing their energized exploratory sounds perfectly. BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO is led by Trinidadian-born, internationally acclaimed Brooklyn, NY based jazz iconoclast BROWNMAN ALI — a protege of trumpet legend Randy Brecker
Brownman, when not leading the 8 bands he actively writes for and tours with, is a highly sought after soloist, the current touring trumpet player for hip-hop icons Jay-z, Beyonce, Kanye West, Mos Def & Missy Elliot; was nominated for a 2024 JUNO award for “Jazz Album of the Year”, after already winning Canada’s Black IMPACT Award (the first jazz musician in history to win this); and has been called “Canada’s preeminent jazz trumpet player” by the New York Village Voice, “a soloist of unmatched abilities” by Toronto’s NOW magazine, and “one of the most exploratory voices in jazz trumpet today” by the Chicago Tribune.
