BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO 
featuring Brownman - electric trumpet Tyler Emond - 6-string electric bass Colin Kingsmore - drums -- JazzOnline writes: "Nick "Brownman" Ali's powerful trio captures the essence of the later years in Miles Davis' life, his electric period, without imitation. Brownman's ELECTRYC TRIO 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. Impressive." |

proudly presents from NEW YORK: AARON STAEBELL QUARTET Night 1 
featuring Aaron Staebell - drums Dave Restivo - keyboards Brownman - trumpet Tyler Emond - bass -- Check out Aaron's MYSPACE page! -- JazzOnline writes: “A graduate of the prestigious Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, the 23 year old Buffalo-born Staebell is now one of the most in demand young jazz drummers in the empire state. His dynamic and energized style of playing, reminiscent of fellow New Yorker Jorge Rossy (drummer for Brad Mehldau), never fails to captivate ears interested in innovation and risk-taking. Also garnering acclaim as a fresh new NY voice as a composer, his works have made debuts across America, most recently in Seattle and last April making their debut appearances in Canada. This performance, only Aaron's second on Canadian soil will feature Canada’s Trinidadian-born iconic jazz trumpeter Brownman; the young bassist from the Electryc Trio, Tyler Emond & keyboardist Dave Restivo - multiple National Jazz Award winner for 'jazz keyboardist of the year'. Definitely not a band to miss. ” |
