Trinidadian-born multi-award winning jazz trumpeter BROWNMAN ALI brings his straight-ahead hard-swinging acoustic quartet to Chez Angela for a night of 50s & 60s jazz ala Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Joe Henderson, Duke Ellington and the great American jazz songbook. The group features 8x Global Music Award winner NICK MACLEAN on piano; and two of Canada's most in demand rhythm section players - bassist BENNETT YOUNG, and drummer JACOB WUTZKE. Bandleader Brownman Ali has won 2 National Jazz Awards, a SOCAN award for composition, 4 Toronto Independent Music Awards, Montreal Jazz Fest's "Grand Prix du Jazz" award, an International Independent Music Award, is heralded as "Canada's preeminent jazz trumpet player" by the New York Village Voice and was named "one of the top 10 reasons to visit Toronto" by Air Canada. Jazz audiences will not want to miss this performance!

"Awards are nice, naturally, but to dig what Brownman is doing, you’ve got to see him live. I had a chance to do just that over the summer when Brownman fronted a killer trio ... I came away with a blown mind. This guy’s got chops galore, soul to match, and a sense of phrasing that recalls many of the greats, but suggests itself to be his own."
- Buffalo News

"... a truly gifted improviser with an original creative voice..."
- Gary Bartz, saxophonist with Miles Davis

"... uniquely creative and fearless - like a young Miles Davis"
- Guru, legendary hip-hop icon from Gangstarr/Jazzmatazz fame

"... virtuostic, energized and in the spirit of Miles Davis"
- Toronto's NOW Magazine

"Canada's preeminent jazz trumpet player"
- New York Village Voice

"One of the next great voices in the new generation of jazz improvisers"
- Randy Brecker, multi-grammy winning legendary trumpeter
