BROWN NEWS (by publicist Andrew McIntosh) : Brownman was recently nominated for a 2006 Canadian National Jazz Award for "Latin-jazz Artist of the Year". The prize was awarded to the luminous and deserving Hilario Duran, but we at Brownman Music Inc. would like to thank all those who voted for this dynamic performer! Brownman to tour ARGENTINA for 3 weeks - beginning with the Buenos Aires Jazz Festival and includes feature concert presentations with some of Argentina's finest jazz and tango artists! May 21 to June 15 - arriving back in Toronto just in time to perform 8 times for the Toronto Jazz Festival. More Argentine info as it comes in... Shortly
after returning from the last South American tour in Jan '06, the BROWNMAN
ELECTRYC TRIO began a new jazz residency at
Buffalo's ultra hip Allen St. Hardware Cafe... this residency will continue
through summer and all of upstate NY is invited to join the party!
No
longer able to deny the undeniable - Brownman Music now has a MySpace.com
page. There are 4 tunes and some video from CRUZAO is currently loaded
(though they will be on weekly rotation), pics, and a ton more. Feel
free to drop in and make Brown your MySpace friend.
The AUDIO/VIDEO section at Brownman.com now has new audio up - as well as a 2 minute movie trailer from film maker Vitold Vidic's Documentary "CRUZAO: The Movie" which first aired at the 2005 Toronto film festival and documents the trials and tribulations of Brownman's struggle to get CRUZAO GRUPO MONSTRUOSO - the 15-man version of CRUZAO - prepped for it's inaugural performance at the 2004 Distillery Jazz Festival with the clocking ticking down and problems mounting. http://Brownman.com/pages-AudVid.htm (Under VIDEO) Brownman
recently appointed to the Prague Jazz Open Festival's Board of Artistic
Directors where his knowledge and expertise will aid in shaping the vision
of the festival's 2006/2007 programming.
Collaborations seems to be the name of the game in 2006 and we'd like to mention some of those fantastic groups that have featured Brown in recent months: IRAKERE, CHISPA Y LOS COMPLICES, TUMBAO INC., DUB TRINITY, KUSH, FERTILE GROUND, SOULIVE, KOBOTOWN, KELLY LEE EVANS, MR. SOMETHING SOMETHING, METHODOLOGY, JAH-B, MAPALE, CHIVA, RITA DI GHENT & The SPRAWL PROJECT, AVE RD. & CESCO. All are world-class ensembles and we encourage those reading this to put their names into Google and check out their artistry.
