<h3>HALLOWEEN THRILLER 2022 :: www.Thriller.Brownman.com</h3>Acclaimed jazz / hip-hop trumpet player BROWNMAN ALI will once again lead an all-star quartet through his popular annual Halloween Thriller concert, this year travelling to Kitchener, Toronto &amp; Guelph. The much lauded BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO + 1 will perform the entire Michael Jackson "Thriller" recording, interpreted and re-worked in the Miles Davis-esque fashion this multiple National Jazz Award winning improviser has become known for.

This show features as it's "+1" acclaimed keyboardist NICK MACLEAN, a rising star in Toronto's jazz community and winner of 6 Global Music Awards. Please visit www.Thriller.Brownman.com for more info on the 2022 Halloween Thriller Series."Delving so deeply into that record always leaves us speechless", states Ali. "Michael birthed so many incredible tunes over the years, but his collaborations with Quincy Jones on Thriller has to be one of the most towering musical achievements in pop music ever. Using that brilliant material every year on Halloween, as jump-offs for what we do makes for a party that's both danceable, but still rooted in exploratory improvising and deep reaching solos. We approach it the way Miles might have."The BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO has won a National Jazz Award, 3 Toronto Independent Music Award, a SOCAN music award, a CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award, and an International Independent Music Award for "Jazz-Funk album of the year" for their latest release "Gravitation", which hit number 4 on the iTunes USA jazz charts upon it's release.<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>-- The Buffalo News on the latest slew of awards for the Brownman Electryc Trio</blockquote>----Sat-Oct-29, 10:00pm -- Happy Halloween!!!!@ Sugar Run33 Queen St. South (rear entrance), Kitchener, ONwww.SugarRun.ca$20 door / $15 adv / $10 students &amp; arts workers----:: Brownman Ali - electric trumpet &amp; spookiness--&gt; www.Brownman.com:: Nick Maclean - keyboards &amp; ghoulishness--&gt; www.NicholasMaclean.com:: Dwayne Livingstone - electric bass &amp; creepiness--&gt; www.facebook.com/dwayne.livingstone:: Justin McHugh - drums &amp; ghastliness--&gt; www.facebook.com/justin.mchugh.52----Dress up if you like - it's Halloween!!!See videos from the 2020 HALLOWEEN THRILLER show:www.facebook.com/watch/11284584521/948149329106979Hear the BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO at:www.ElectrycTrio.Brownman.comVideos of BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO live:www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFECA3E452FE2BC0D----<h3>ABOUT BROWNMAN | www.Brownman.com</h3>----Heralded as “Canada’s preeminent Jazz trumpeter” by NYC’s Village Voice, Brownman Ali - born on the small Caribbean island of Trinidad, &amp; schooled in NYC - is a multiple award-winning NYC-schooled protégé to his teacher, Grammy-winning trumpet legend, Randy Brecker.
