Brownman's HALLOWEEN THRILLER - MJ as electric-jazz, on tour

Brownman's HALLOWEEN THRILLER 2026 www.Thriller.Brownman.com TIX: www.eventbrite.ca/e/2001549304851 ---- JUNO & GRAMMY nominated jaz z/hip-hop trumpet playing iconoclast BROWNMAN ALI (Jay-z, Missy Elliot, Kanye West, Guru's Jazzmatazz) will once again lead an all-star quartet through his popular annual HALLOWEEN THRILLER concert, this year travelling up from Brooklyn, NY to various venues (and schools) across Southern Ontario. The much lauded BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO + 1 will perform the entire Michael Jackson "Thriller" recording, interpreted and re-worked in the Miles Davis-esque fashion this multiple National Jazz Award winning improviser has become known for. In addition to the quartet performing Thriller from top to bottom, other MJ classics will be featured through the night for this unique Halloween Series jazz party. Costumes and Thriller video dance moves encouraged!

This show features as it's "+1" acclaimed keyboardist NICK MACLEAN -- a JUNO Award nominee, a signee to Brownman's Browntasauras Records label & winner of 10 Global Music Awards -- standing alongside 2 of Toronto's most in demand musicians: SEAN DENNIS on 6-string electric bass (called "a once in a generation bass player" by the Head of the Humber College Bass Department when he was a student there), and ADAM MANSFIELD on drums (25-year old drumset phenom), all under the direction of 2x National Jazz Award winning modern jazz trumpet iconoclast BROWNMAN ALI. Please visit www.Thriller.Brownman.com for more info on this year's Halloween Thriller Series.

"Delving so deeply into that record always leaves us speechless", states Ali. "Michael birthed so many incredible tunes over the years, but his collaborations with Quincy Jones on Thriller has to be one of the most towering musical achievements in pop music ever. Using that brilliant material every year on Halloween, as jump-offs for what we do makes for a party that's both danceable, but still rooted in exploratory improvising and deep reaching solos. We approach it the way Miles might have."

The BROWNMAN ELECTRYC TRIO has won a National Jazz Award, 3 Toronto Independent Music Awards, a SOCAN music award, a CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award, and an International Independent Music Award for "Jazz-Funk album of the year" for their latest release "Gravitation", which hit number 4 on the iTunes USA jazz charts upon it's release.

"Awards are nice, naturally, but to dig what Brownman is doing, you've got to see him live. I had a chance to do just that over the summer when Brownman fronted his killer trio... I came away with a blown mind. This guy's got chops galore, soul to match, and a sense of phrasing that recalls many of the greats, but suggests itself to be his own." -- The Buffalo News on the latest slew of awards for the Brownman Electryc Trio
