<h2>Brownman's HOLIDAY MADNESS</h2>Internationally acclaimed jazz trumpet player BROWNMAN ALI's annual Jazz Christmas show is a unique reading of classic holiday tunes featuring a hand-picked cast of some of Toronto's top-shelf jazz &amp; studio musicians. Each year during the holidays Brownman specially arranges and re-orchestrates many of the quintessential archetypes of the season, with his own unique visions.Imagine, if you will:-- "Frosty the Snowman" with a Cuban Songo twist-- "We Three Kings", in 4, as a hip-hop track-- "Do You Hear What I Hear" as down-tempo soul-- "Here Comes Santa Claus", as drum'n'bass-- "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman", as a 90's boom-bap hip-hop track-- "Rudolph" as a hard-swinging Coltrane tune-- "Jingle Bells" in 7/8, like Brubeck might have done it-- "Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire" as a Brazilian Samba-- "Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" like a 50's Miles tunes-- "Silent Night" as a funk balladAll these and more! "Holiday cheer interpreted and re-imagined by one of the nation's most acclaimed modern jazz iconoclasts." -- NOW magazine <h2>The HOLIDAY MADNESS Band is:</h2>:: Brownman Ali - trumpet:: Scott Metcalfe - keyboard:: Bennett Young - bass:: Adam Mansfield - drums----Sat-Dec-20 -- TORONTO@ MY HOUSE2882 Dundas St. West, Toronto8:00pm - show$ 20 advance$ 30 door$ 15 students / arts workers----Presented by: My House &amp; Browntasauras Records----CODA magazine writes:<blockquote>“... capturing the essence of the later years in Miles Davis’ life, his electric period, without imitation. Brownman's sound 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".</blockquote> Buffalo News writes:<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> Toronto’s NOW Magazine writes:<blockquote>“It’s incredible the energy output this group can generate... my ears would swear they were hearing a whole electrified orchestra”.</blockquote> <h2>ABOUT BROWNMAN ALI | www.Brownman.com</h2>An internationally acclaimed jazz iconoclast, Brownman Ali is a 2x National Jazz Award winner; 10x Global Music Award winner; 7x Toronto Independent Music Award winner; JUNO Award nominee; is heralded by the NY Village Voice as "Canada's preeminent jazz trumpet player", and is best known as the last trumpet soloist for legendary jazz-hip-hop outfit Guru's Jazzmatazz (replacing Donald Byrd in this iconic group). Splitting his time between Toronto, ON &amp; Brooklyn, NY, when not leading 8 groups of his own (including the National Jazz Award winning BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO &amp; Montreal Jazz Fest's "Grand Prix du Jazz" winners CRUZAO), he is also a highly in-demand studio session musician having appeared on over 300 recordings to date, and is the CEO of the acclaimed Brooklyn-based record label BROWNTASAURAS RECORDS. His bombastically narrative style as an improviser, often reminiscent of Miles Davis, has made him one of the most sought after soloists today. ---- <h2>LINKS:</h2>Full list of links to Brownman's online resources, including the official website, all Social Media accounts (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X, etc), Browntasauras Recods website, Spotify Playlists and lot more!
