Brownman ELECTRYC TRIO | Juggernaut – [Browntasauras Records, 2009]

Brownman

Brownman’s powerful electrified trio captures the essence of the later years in Miles Davis’ life, his electric period, without imitation, while staying grounded in the sounds of today.

This album captures trumpeter, bandleader and composer BROWNMAN (born “Nick Ali”) and his Electryc Trio on a typical night in live performance at a packed small downtown jazz club. The recording provides ample evidence of why the group has become such a crowd-pleasing draw over the last few years.The group’s popularity led them to win a fan-voted Canadian National Jazz Award for “Electric Group of the Year” in 2007, virtually on the strength of their live shows alone. But before discussing the music on this record, it’s worthwhile mentioning another show that is a particular highlight in the band’s history.
