      All proceeds going towards Hospital Relief Fund for Noelia Grey
                    (see green text below for more info)

      The Ali Bros embody the essence of jazz improvisational ideology
           erupting against a backdrop of powerful urban grooves.
Funk, hip-hop, drum'n'bass, R'n'B all colliding with modern jazz textures.
Their uncanny musical relationship enhanced by blood, Brownman and Marcus
Ali together form an incredibly synergetic, almost telepathic bond making
them one of the most called upon horn-men teams in the city. They have
appeared side by side in countless brass sections in the Canadian pro music
scene most nobably as the backbone to the multi-award winning latin-jazz
ensemble CRUZAO, Juno nominated reggae artists TABARRUK, modern house outfit
FUNKY HI-LIFE, african masters RADIO NOMAD, merengue specialists
DOMINICANADA and the Lula Lounge's resident Salsa powerhouse MARRON
MATIZADO.

This performance will feature:
Marcus Ali - alto, bari & electryc saxes (from MARRON MATIZADO)
Nick "Brownman" Ali - trumpet / flugelhorn / electryc trumpet (from CRUZAO)
Dane Wedderburn - 6-string electryc basses (from CHIVA)
Kieran Adams - drums (from ELECTRYC TRIO)
& special guests
Enlight - microphone (one of Canada's finest free-style jazz-rappers- from
GRUVASYLUM)
Ashot Gregoryan - alto sax (from GRUVORIA)

This performance is a Hospital Debt Relief Fundraiser for Noelia Grey.
       When first coming to Canada, Argentinean flamenco dancer Noelia Grey
incurred a massive hospital bill totaling close to $10,000 and not being a
citizen, she was not covered by OHIP.  Before she can become a Canadian
citizen, this bill must be paid down.  All proceeds from this concert will
go towards paying down this young artist's hospital bill.
