"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 '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, 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".
Matt Galloway in a recent CBC Radio Canada interview states:
"Guru's Jazzmatazz trumpet player delivers virtuosity and panache. In
2006, multi-award winning Trinidadian born Canadian jazz trumpet icon
BROWNMAN was asked to replace Donald Byrd as the featured soloist in the
legendary jazz-hip-hop group GURU'S JAZZMATAZZ (under the leadership of
hip-hop royalty of Gangstarr fame - Guru). And now, after 3 years of
world-wide touring, Brownman has launched his own record label,
Browntasauras Records, which just released the highly anticipated debut
recording from the BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO. It's important to note that
this powerful modern electric trio won the National Jazz Award for
'Electric Jazz Group of the Year'in 2007 & were again nominated in
2008, based solely on the strength of their live show - all without
having a record out yet!"
