Renaissance Jazz Fair presents: BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO featuring Brownman - electric trumpet Ross MacIntyre - 6-string electric bass Max Senitt - drums -- JazzOnline writes: "Nick "Brownman" Ali's powerful trio captures the essence of the later years in Miles Davis' life, his electric period, without imitation. Brownman's ELECTRYC TRIO is uniquely his own, yet echoes with the sounds of ‘Bitches Brew’ and ‘In a Silent Way’ right down to Miles’ use of electronics while still managing to stay grounded in the sounds of today, clearly paying apt tribute to Brownman's NYC mentor Randy Brecker. Impressive." |
