Heralded as "Canada's preeminent jazz trumpet player" by the New York Village Voice, multi-award winning Trinidadian-born, NYC-school trumpet player & jazz iconoclast Brownman Ali brings his BLUE NOTE COMPOSER Series to Kitchener in the month of May. Spanning 4 Sunday afternoons (3pm-6pm), this 4-part series explores the unique writings of 4 legendary composers from the seminal Blue Note Record label -- Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock & Freddie Hubbard -- all historically recognized instrumentalists, whose famed compositions are now part of the fabric of jazz culture. Each week will feature an all-star cast backing Brownman, including 26 year old Nick Maclean, whose own groups are signed to the Browntasauras Record label and who has been called "a rising star in the Toronto jazz piano community". The series occurs at the RHAPSODY BARREL BAR (www.RhapsodyBarrelBar.com), all shows start at 3:00pm, are $20 at the door or $10 for students with ID and feature two 75-minute sets of music exploring a different Blue Note composer each week.
