Brownman

Born: December 2

Trinidadian-born, NYC-schooled & heralded as “Canada’s preeminent Jazz trumpeter” by NYC’s Village Voice, multi-award winning trumpet player BROWNMAN ALI stands at the forefront of innovation in the Canadian jazz community. A protégé to his teacher, Grammy-winning trumpet legend, Randy Brecker, he tirelessly leads 8 unique ensembles of his own including the internationally acclaimed Miles Davis influenced BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO, and the award-winning CRUZAO latin-jazz quintet. In 2009 he launched his own Brooklyn, NY based record label: Browntasauras Records, which saw the Electryc Trio's flagship release "Juggernaut" shoot to number 3 on the iTunes USA jazz charts

Sean Dennis

SEAN DENNIS is a Toronto-based 6-string electric bassist whose extraordinary technical command, deep pocket and highly melodic approach have made him a formidable voice on the Canadian jazz scene. Described by the former head of Humber College’s bass department as a “once-in-a-generation bass player,” Dennis has toured extensively as the current bassist for the award-winning Brownman Electryc Trio, helping shape the group’s collision of modern jazz, funk, hip-hop and groove-based Black American music. He is a frequent 1st call for Brownman Ali's label projects on Browntasauras Records, equally at home navigating dense harmonic landscapes, odd meters and ferocious electric-jazz grooves, Dennis brings uncommon virtuosity, sensitivity and rhythmic authority to every musical setting.
