We are very excited to announce that the NICK MACLEAN QUARTET, featuring the great Brownman Ali will be visiting Nanaimo from Ontario as part of their Canadian Tour.
=0D=0A=Featuring Nick Maclean (keys), Brownman Ali (tmpt.), Bennett Young (bass) and Jacob Wutzke (drums) this combo is one of the most innovative and compelling in Canadian Jazz.
=0D=0A=Maclean’s quartet heavily features one of Canada’s most provocative improvising trumpet players – BROWNMAN ALI, heralded as “Canada’s preeminent jazz trumpet player” by New York City’s Village Voice. Recognized as an internationally acclaimed jazz iconoclast, he currently splits his time between Brooklyn, NY & Toronto, Canada and is a 2x National Jazz Award winner. This jazz veteran is best known globally as the last trumpet player with the legendary jazz-hip-hop group GURU’s JAZZMATAZZ, having replaced Donald Byrd in that seminal ensemble. Ali & Maclean stand shoulder to shoulder with two of Toronto’s top-tier rhythm section 20-somethings: Bennett Young, and Jacob Wutzke.
=0D=0A=Tickets are $25.00 (students and NIJF Subscribers $20.00) available from Simonholt (250) 933-3338, Fascinating Rhythm, Arbutus Music or online at: https://checkout.square.site/buy/DBF7UG4J4376H2TBJIWGKRQH
