About
In recent years, when not touring the globe as the featured soloist with hip-hop superstar JAY-Z or subbing into pop legend Paul Simon’s band, the Toronto-based multi-award-winning Trinidadian-born trumpet player BROWNMAN ALI spends much of his artistic time in the exploration of “chordless” jazz - music produced without a chordal instrument (guitar or keyboard). He had previously explored this tonal quality for a decade with his now internationally acclaimed latin-jazz group CRUZAO, and in more recently with his critically acclaimed Miles Davis influenced BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO. This trio’s 2nd release entitled “Gravitation: A Study In Freefall” on Brownman’s own label Browntasauras Records shot to number 4 on the iTunes USA jazz charts and was declared “the new standard in electric jazz” by National Public Radio (NPR) in New York City.
