BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO 2007 winners of the Canadian National Jazz Award for "Electric Jazz Group of the Year" Brownman - electric trumpet Tyler Emond - 6-string electric bass Colin Kingsmore - drums JazzOnline.com writes: "Brownman's powerful electrified 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 'B**ches 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, they are a truly impressive and energized modern jazz outfit." Toronto’s NOW Magazine writes: (concert review) “It’s incredible the energy output these three men can generate... with only three of them on stage my ears would swear they were hearing a whole electrified orchestra”.
