Oshawa, ON, L1H 1B4, 905-579-5777 The Atria in Oshawa, ON is proud to present, up from Brooklyn, NY, the GRAMMY Award long-listed electric-jazz sounds of BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO on Fri-Aug-15, 9pm!:: Brownman Ali -- electric trumpet (Brooklyn, NY):: Matt Gruebner -- 6-string electric bass (Auckland, NZ):: Adam Mansfield -- drums (Toronto, ON)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 &amp; 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 BreckerBrownman, 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 &amp; 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.----BET is on tour in Ontario in Aug :Thr-Aug-14, 07pm: BARRIE, ON @ TequilazzoFri-Aug-15, 09pm: OSHAWA, ON @ The AtriaSat-Aug-16, 08pm: TORONTO, ON @ My HouseSun-Aug-17, 06pm: NEWMARKET, ON @ George Whiskey LoungeWed-Aug-20, 07pm: KITCHENER, ON @ THEMUSEUM, in THELOUNGEThr-Aug-21, 06pm: WESTPORT ON @ The Cove InnFri-Aug-22, 08pm: KINGSTON, ON @ The MansionSat-Aug-23, 07pm: OTTAWA, ON @ Night OatSun-Aug-24, 04pm: BROCKVILLE, ON @ Nathalie's (House Concert, backyard)----AWARDS :-- 2007 National Jazz Award “Electric Jazz Group of the Year”-- 2011 Trinidad High Commission citation: “Distinguished National"-- 2013, 2015, 2016 : 3x Toronto Independent Music Award winner-- 2014 International Independent Music Award winner <blockquote>“Awards are nice, naturally, but to dig what Brownman is doing, you’ve got to see him live. I had a chance to do just that over the summer when Brownman fronted his killer trio ... I came away with a blown mind. This guy’s got chops galore, soul to match, and a sense of phrasing that recalls many of the greats, but suggests itself to be his own.”</blockquote><blockquote>- Buffalo News</blockquote> <h2>A DEEPER LOOK:</h2>In recent years, when not touring the globe the Brooklyn based multi-award-winning Trinidadian-born trumpet player BROWNMAN ALI -- the last trumpet player for iconic jazz-hip-hop group Guru's Jazzmatazz -- spends much of his artistic time in the exploration of modern “chordless” jazz -&gt; music produced without a chordal instrument (guitar or keyboard). He had previously explored this tonal quality for a decade with his highly lauded latin-jazz group CRUZAO, and more recently with his heavily decorated &amp; now internationally acclaimed Miles Davis influenced BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO. Taking a similar trajectory as the acclaimed 2009 debut release "Juggernaut", this highly energized bombastic trio’s 2013 sophmore release “Gravitation: A Study In Freefall” -- on Brownman’s own label Browntasauras Records -- shot to number 4 on the iTunes USA jazz charts and was declared “the new standard in electric-jazz” by National Public Radio (NPR) in New York City. Among a long list of awards &amp; accolades, the trio would win an International Independent Music Award for "Jazz-Funk Album of the Year", 3 Toronto Independent Music Awards for "Jazz Group of the Year" and a National Jazz Award for "electric jazz group of the year". <blockquote>“The trio folds aspects of Black American Music into a chordless jazz framework”, states Brownman. “When we’re not playing originals, we often take classic standards from the 30s through the 50s and re-imagine them as if they were written today and being produced by, say, DJ Premier. The end result is something that hopefully sounds relevant in today’s musical paradigm, but still resonates with the history and lineage of the jazz tradition. And yeah - you’ll hear a lot of Miles Davis’ influence in that resulting sound”.</blockquote> The ensemble itself is aptly described by CODA magazine: “Brownman’s powerful electrified trio captures the essence of the later years in Miles Davis’ life, his electric period, without imitation. Brownman’s ELECTRYC TRIO is uniquely his own, yet echoes with the sounds of ‘Bitches Brew’ and ‘In a Silent Way’ right down to Miles’ use of electronics while still managing to stay grounded in the sounds of today. Clearly paying apt tribute to Brownman’s NYC mentor Randy Brecker, they are a truly impressive and energized modern jazz outfit.” Visit <a href="https://www.ElectrycTrio.Brownman.com" title="https://www.ElectrycTrio.Brownman.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.ElectrycTrio.Brownman.com</a> for more info! <h2>QUOTES</h2>“Brownman’s powerful electrified trio captures the essence of the later years in Miles Davis’ life, his electric period, without imitation.
