From press release:
"Multi-award-winning jazz trumpet player Brownman Ali, best known for his creatively bombastic & energized playing style has made him a trumpet choice for such A-listers as Guru, Paul Simon, Jay-z & Quincy Jones, strips down to a bare bones configuration for the Musideum's "+1" series. This Easter Sunday's intimate duet show will feature one of the most in demand of the 20-something generation of jazz pianists in Toronto -- NICK MACLEAN. Brownman has appeared as a featured guest with Maclean's energized fusion group SNAGGLE and Brown has employed him as a pianist in his own ensembles often. Both these artists represent 2 different generations of top-shelf jazz improvisers in the city, both sharing a penchant for modern jazz music and creative improvising."
======================================
Now in it's second year, the BROWNMAN+1 series continues throughout the year at Musideum, each month Brown appearing with 1 other mystery musician -- could be piano, could be bass, could even turntables - who knows! Each duet showcasing Brownman's lesser known introspective & self-reflective playing approach accompanied by a mystery +1 each month.
