The NICK MACLEAN QUARTET feat. BROWNMAN ALI is an internationally acclaimed, multi-award winning modern-jazz quartet which delivers performances between the two poles of thoughtful introspection and powerhouse conveyance, taking influences from Herbie Hancock’s primordial 1960’s Blue Note era recordings and is frequently lauded for the strength of their collective improvisatory vision. The group is led by the highly in demand 29 year old piano player and composer Nick Maclean – called “A rising star in the Canadian jazz community” (Globe & Mail), winner of 8 Gold Global Music Awards and a Toronto Independent Music Award; and features “Canada’s preeminent jazz trumpet player” (NYC Village Voice) and Randy Brecker protege, Brownman Ali, winner of multiple National Jazz Awards, the Montreal Grand Prix du Jazz, and countless other awards and accolades.
