This young multi-award winning trumpeter/composer dazzled Havana in 2002 where he was invited as an individual artist to perform as a special guest to a group comprised of IRAKERE and AFRO-CUBAN ALL-STAR members. This year he has been asked to return with his all-original chordless latin-jazz ensemble CRUZAO which features his younger sibling Marcus Ali on alto saxophone and compositions that push the boundaries of modern latin-jazz ideology employing hip-hop concepts and the lack of use of piano or guitar. He was awarded the 2002 Canadian National Jazz Award for "Composer of the Year" for the compositons written on the debut CRUZAO release of Justin Time Records "Shades of Brown".Canada's premiere latin-jazz-funk outfit Nick "Brownman" Ali & CRUZAO
