Funky as all hell... this ain’t any Kenny G oatmeal for folks with no teeth."</blockquote><blockquote>- Mike Greenblatt, Classicalite (New York, USA)</blockquote> Under the leadership of JUNO-nominated and 10x Global Music Award–winning jazz pianist NICK MACLEAN, SNAGGLE feat the ALI BROS launches into a daring new chapter: a suite of electrifying works inspired by the science fiction grandmaster ISAAC ASIMOV and his legendary FOUNDATION saga. Often described as “Canada’s answer to Snarky Puppy”, the band goes interstellar using their fearless sound, likened to a cross between electric-era Miles Davis and Rage Against the Machine, to map the rise and fall of galactic empires. Front and center are the ALI BROS, the near-telepathic horn duo of BROWNMAN ALI (Guru, Jay-Z, Randy Brecker) on trumpet and MARCUS ALI (Matt Dusk, Jason Wilson, Mr Something Something) on saxophone. Like Asimov’s psychohistorians, they shape the future with every phrase, weaving complex probabilities into sonic reality. Joining them on this voyage are some of Toronto’s finest electric-jazz explorers: JAY YOO on guitar, MATT GRUEBNER on bass, and ADAM MANSFIELD on drums. With performances swinging from Seldon–like moments of quiet, calculated clarity to cataclysmic bursts of energy worthy of a crumbling empire... Snaggle’s new repertoire doesn’t just pay homage to ASIMOV, it channels the spirit of his storytelling: daring, complex, and endlessly imaginative. MCBROWN, the special guest opener, focuses their music into the exploration of vulnerability and risk, to further their collective, and individual, understanding of music as a whole. After a bit of a hiatus brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, Mcbrown’s band leader, Liam Brown, focused time and energy into creating the foundation and landscape of the band's music, drawing inspiration from The Mars Volta, Kenny Wheeler, and World Folk Music, McBrown has crafted themselves a wide palette and shares their musical paintings intimately with their audience. Having Jazz Fusion as the foundation in which the band builds off of, in September of 2021, they had the opportunity to open for one of Canada’s most respected Juno Award winning groups, Ernesto Cervini’s Turbopro, as part of the T.U. Jazz Fest held at Ontario Place in Toronto, Ontario. Moving forward, McBrown aims to reach higher levels of their musical understanding, and wishes to share their journey with music lovers, and the curious. For fans of Jazz, Science Fiction, and the BOUNDLESS possibilities that emerge when the two intertwine... this is a show not to be missed!----SNAGGLE:: Nick Maclean - keys/synth:: Brownman Ali - electric trumpet:: Marcus Ali - tenor sax:: Jay Yoo - guitar:: Matt Gruebner - bass:: Adam Mansfield - drums MCBROWN:: Liam Brown - bass:: Alex Pedherny - sax:: Nathanael Pollard - keys:: Ciaran Galati - guitar:: Tommy-Lee Metcalf - drums----WATCH Snaggle perform at the 2022 TU Jazz Festival<a href="https://youtu.be/ggp8lHRB_RA?si=iu0j9NZ2hIB_7fbo" title="https://youtu.be/ggp8lHRB_RA?si=iu0j9NZ2hIB_7fbo" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://youtu.be/ggp8lHRB_RA?si=iu0j9NZ2hIB_7fbo</a> LISTEN to Snaggle's uptempo burner 'THEORUM', from THE LONG SLOG<a href="https://youtu.be/YlHVbRgPYNk?si=bq_CkJUweRj81s_Y" title="https://youtu.be/YlHVbRgPYNk?si=bq_CkJUweRj81s_Y" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://youtu.be/YlHVbRgPYNk?si=bq_CkJUweRj81s_Y</a> LISTEN to Snaggle's twisted odyssey 'SAW', from THE LONG SLOG<a href="https://youtu.be/ai2sYhw-SYc?si=EafC2ZIsd3RxYZP6" title="https://youtu.be/ai2sYhw-SYc?si=EafC2ZIsd3RxYZP6" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://youtu.be/ai2sYhw-SYc?si=EafC2ZIsd3RxYZP6</a> LISTEN to Snaggle's eclectic holiday single 'CHRISTMAS TUNE'<a href="https://youtu.be/RRf8U8cETZc?si=wfAZbOj3a5HPCd1l" title="https://youtu.be/RRf8U8cETZc?si=wfAZbOj3a5HPCd1l" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://youtu.be/RRf8U8cETZc?si=wfAZbOj3a5HPCd1l</a>----For more info:<a href="https://www.NickMacleanJazz.com" title="https://www.NickMacleanJazz.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.NickMacleanJazz.com</a><a href="https://www.Maclean.Browntasauras.com" title="https://www.Maclean.Browntasauras.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.Maclean.Browntasauras.com</a><a href="https://www.Brownman.com" title="https://www.Brownman.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.Brownman.com</a><a href="https://www.Browntasauras.com" title="https://www.Browntasauras.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.Browntasauras.com</a>=================================<h3>ALL TOUR DATES</h3>Wed-Nov-19 @ George Whiskey Lounge, NewmarketThr-Nov-20 @ RCHA Club, KingstonFri-Nov-21 @ Wheel Club, MontrealSat-Nov-22 @ Night Oat, OttawaSun-Nov-23 @ Keene Centre for the Arts, KeeneTue-Nov-25 @ Storm Stayed Brewing, LondonWed-Nov-26 @ Farm League Brewing, CambridgeThr-Nov-27 @ My House, TorontoFri-Nov-28 @ The Atria, OshawaSat-Nov-29 @ The Doors Pub, Hamilton All Tickets Available @ <a href="https://www.Maclean.Browntasauras.com" title="https://www.Maclean.Browntasauras.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.Maclean.Browntasauras.com</a>
