From Press Release:
"New York meets Toronto as 2 generations of award-winning modern jazz trumpet players come together. Grammy Award winning legendary trumpeter Randy Brecker joins his former prodigal student, now-internationally acclaimed jazz trumpet icon Brownman on stage for a night of uber-modern electrified jazz trumpet funkifications you won't want to miss!
--
In the early 90's a young Nick "Brownman" Ali would travel to New York City to study with his trumpet playing idol Randy Brecker.Now, years later after Brecker's influence has catalyzed his climb into the upperranks of the national jazz community, Brownman and his former teacher will reunite on stage at the Lula Lounge backed by the 2007 National Jazz Award winning BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO (feat. Tyler Emond on bass & Colin Kingsmore on drums) and nationally acclaimed guest keyboardist Adrean Farrugia, to give Toronto a taste of funkified modern jazz trumpet pyrotechnics."

My son told me about the concert and this video; it's always inspiring to see two generations of musicians getting together. It just proves all the more that great musicians come in every age group. Thanks for posting...

I remember a few years ago, The Brownman's trio was playing a little pub in Orillia, Ontario during the jazz festival. My girlfriend and I, maybe because we were from Toronto, were floored. Couldn't believe we were seeing that kind of talent, we never moved on to the rest of the festival. The crowd there didn't get it. One piece he played I swear he moved it like he was having sex...we loved it!
