About Bruce & Brownman:
===========================================
In the trumpet world in North America, both Brownman & Bruce represent cutting edge innovative approaches to the “valve instrument”. Bruce - the musical director for the Grammy winning Blood, Sweat & Tears for years - is now one of the world’s foremost voices on the EVI - electronic valve instrument. Brownman - the featured soloist for jazz-hip-hop legends Guru’s Jazzmatazz for years - is now one of the globe’s most expressive electric trumpet players, running his modified horn through a series of 17 signal processors. Long-time friends and colleagues (both are the featured soloists in Toronto’s John Cheesman Jazz Orchestra), they come together now to combine their unique sounds with Bruce as a special guest with National Jazz Award winners BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO.

About Brownman Electryc Trio:
===========================================
JazzOnline.com writes:
"Brownman Ali’s powerful electrified 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, they are a truly impressive and energized modern jazz outfit.”

Toronto’s NOW Magazine writes: (concert review)
“It’s incredible the energy output these three men can generate… with only three of them on stage my ears would swear they were hearing a whole electrified orchestra”.

New York Times writes:
“Canada’s preeminent jazz trumpet player and his electrified trio deliver raw, explosive improvisational energy with a uniquely original style”

About the new Gravitation CD:
===========================================
"The Trinidadian-born multi-award winning, always bombastic electric jazz iconoclast is joined on this new CD release -- GRAVITATION: A STUDY IN FREEFALL -- by acclaimed American 6-string electric bassist Damian Erskine (bassist for the Jaco Pastorius Big Band & member of Peter Erskine's New Trio) and 5 other acclaimed Canadian electric bassists! However, Toronto audiences will be thrilled to see Damian flying in to join the BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO for the 2-night Toronto Jazz Fest CD Release extravaganza for what's sure to be an unforgettable night of modern electric jazz. The energized threesome of Brownman, Colin Kingsmore & Damian Erskine will be dazzling audiences with all the tunes from both the Juggernaut CD, and this brand new CD -- which features 11 tracks of inspired material, including 4 Brownman originals, 6 twisted standards & Brown's take on "Splatch" - a Miles Davis track from the 80's. You won't want to miss this chance to see this bombastic trio in the city and grab a copy of GRAVITATION at the show."
