Subject: Electryc Trio Thurs / MATIZADO @ Lula Sat Date: Wed, 03 Nov 2004 07:14:59 -0500 From: The BROWNMAN Organization: Brownman Music Inc. -- http://www.brownman.com To: Brownman's Big Ass Mailing List Hey gang and a big welcome to all those new to the Big Ass Mailing List... Just a fast note to remind everyone that ELECTRYC TRIO Thursdays are back starting Thur Nov 4! The Electryc Trio will appear at the Trane Studio every thursday until... well... until they toss us out... and there's NO cover... dig that! This Sat Nov 6 my salsa band MARRON MATIZADO will be at the Lula Lounge (and every 1st Sat in the month) in it's 8-man permutation. Lastly - a huuuuge thank you to all those who came out to the FIVE WEEKS FOR MILES series through Oct... the last and final installment featured a band that just gave spectacular amounts of themselves all night long on that stage, an absolutely rammed room and a 10 minute standing ovation at the very end of the night. I was beyond words at the response... Spending a month inside of Miles' head has been a huge growing experience for myself as an artist and I thank each and everyone of you who came out to witness what some of the country's finest musicians can do... and for supported live music in Toronto... it was truly joyous. Thank you to Frank Francis and the Trane Studio for hosting it... and thank you to Russ Forfar for documenting it!... and of course to all the monster musicians who stood up there with me for 5 weeks and just brought it... =========================================================== Brownman & The ELECTRYC TRIO - Eeeevery Thursday @ Trane (no cover!) =========================================================== "Electryc & Eclectic highly improvised groove jazz" http://www.brownman.com/ElectrycTrio (MP3s!) poster: http://www.brownman.com/ElectrycTrio/ElectrycTrioPoster_blue.jpg @ Trane Studio - 10:00pm - 964 Bathurst, Toronto (no cover!)
