2x National Jazz Award winners BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO from Brooklyn, NY is an electric-jazz powerhouse colliding Black American Music artforms (hip-hop, funk, soul, rnb, jungle) with jazz narratives, extrapolating the ideologies of Miles Davis & Randy Brecker. This dynamic threesome combines virtuosic performance skills with a deep knowledge of the jazz lineage, all set against an energized urban sonic backdrop, their chart-topping albums Juggernaut and Gravitation capturing their energized exploratory sounds perfectly. BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO is led by Trinidadian-born, internationally acclaimed Brooklyn, NY based jazz iconoclast BROWNMAN ALI -- a protege of trumpet legend Randy Brecker. Brownman, when not leading the 8 bands he actively writes for and tours with, is a highly sought after soloist, the current touring trumpet player for hip-hop icons Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Missy Elliot, was nominated for a 2024 JUNO award for Jazz Album of the Year, after already winning Canadas Black IMPACT Award (the first jazz musician in history to win this), and has been called Canadas preeminent jazz trumpet player by the New York Village Voice, the new standard in electric jazz by NPR, New York (National Public Radio), and one of the most exploratory voices in jazz trumpet today by the Chicago Tribune. In 2024, he won the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) taking 1st place in the Jazz Category, from a field of 17,000 submissions from 120 countries for his composition "Wisdom of Aurelius". Brownman is also the CEO of Browntasauras Records in Brooklyn, NY, home to the 8 groups he leads and artists he has mentored and produced, where the labels mandate is to catalyze the creation of new jazz art, and where 100% of all proceeds go directly back to the Artists on the label....

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