Holiday cheer interpreted and re-imagined by one of the nation's most acclaimed modern jazz iconoclasts: BROWNMAN ALI.

140 Main St S

Brownman's HOLIDAY MADNESS Internationally acclaimed jazz trumpet player BROWNMAN ALI's annual Jazz Christmas show is a unique reading of classic holiday tunes by the BROWNMAN AKOUSTIC 4-TET, which features 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: -- "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", as a boom-bap hip-hop track -- "Frosty the Snowman" with a Cuban Songo twist -- "We Three Kings", in 4, as an R'n'B tune -- "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 -- "Do You Hear What I Hear" as down-tempo soul -- "Silent Night" as a funk ballad All these and more! Holiday cheer interpreted and re-imagined by one of the nation's most acclaimed modern jazz iconoclasts. BROWNMAN AKOUSTIC 4-TET is: :: Brownman Ali - trumpet :: Nick Maclean - keyboard :: Matt Gruebner - bass :: Adam Mansfield - drums ---- Thr-Dec-14 -- NEWMARKET @ Old Flame Brewing Co. 140 Main St S, Newmarket, ON L3Y 3Y7 (289) 803-9111 Doors: 6:30pm Show: 7:00pm $ 20 door $ 15 advance ---- Presented by: Old Flame Brewing Co. &amp; Browntasauras Records ---- CODA magazine writes: “... 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". Buffalo News writes: “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.” Toronto’s NOW Magazine writes: “It’s incredible the energy output this group can generate... my ears would swear they were hearing a whole electrified orchestra”.<h2> </h2> ----<h3>ABOUT BROWNMAN | <a href="https://www.brownman.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.Brownman.com</a> 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. Splitting his time between Toronto and New York, he tirelessly leads 8 unique ensembles of his own including the internationally acclaimed Miles Davis influenced BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO, and the award-winning CRUZAO latin-jazz quintet. All these ensembles record under Brownman's own much lauded BROWNTASAURAS RECORDS label, established in 2009. In high demand in the studio world with over 300 CD appearances to date, Brownman delivers stylistically authentic horn playing over a wide range of styles from bebop to hiphop having worked with the likes of Guru's Jazzmatazz (replacing Donald Byrd in that primordial ensemble), Mos Def, KRS-1, Quincy Jones, Paul Simon, Jay-z, Missy Elliot, Mingus Dynasty Big Band, Gary Bartz, Chucho Valdes &amp; far too many more to name here. He is considered to be one of the most unique and provocative improvising trumpet players in the nation today and is widely regarded as a vanguard for the evolution of Jazz in Canada. "One of the next great voices in the new generation of jazz improvisers” -- Randy Brecker, 11x Grammy winning trumpet player ---- </h3>AWARDS &amp; ACCOLADES A highly decorated player, Brownman's awards &amp; accolades include : -- Black Impact Award for "Artist of the Year" -- 2 National Jazz Awards (with 11 nominations over the years) -- 10 Global Music Awards -- Montreal Jazz Fest's "Grand Prix Du Jazz" award -- a CBC Galaxie Rising Star award -- a SOCAN composers award -- an International Independent Music Award for "Album of the Year" -- 7 Toronto Independent Music Award "jazz artist of the year" (11 nominations) -- a Black Canadian Award nomination for "Jazz Musician of the Year" -- an induction into the WHO'S WHO IN BLACK CANADA -- a Caribbean Music &amp; Entertainment nomination for "Jazz Artist of the Year" -- a BRAVO! channel documentary on his life -- NOW magazine naming him "Toronto's Best Jazz Musician" -- CBC Radio Canada named him "one of the most recorded trumpet players in Canadian history" -- NPR in New York calls him "the new standard in electric jazz" -- the Trinidad &amp; Tobago Consulate General awarded him with a citation for being a "Distinguished National of Trinidad" -- was once listed by Air Canada's in-flight magazine as "One of the Top 10 reasons to visit Toronto".
