One of the hottest voices in jazz, Brownman has posted an impressive list of awards, nominations, recordings and tours earning praise from some of the best artists of our time.
“Remarkable writing and burning energy coming out of this young trumpet player” – John Scofield, multi-Grammy winning jazz guitar icon.
“… a truly gifted improviser with an original creative voice…” – Gary Bartz, saxophonist with Miles Davis.
“… uniquely creative and fearless – like a young Miles Davis” – Guru, legendary hip-hop icon from Gangstarr/Jazzmatazz fame.
Brownman composes for six groups of his own, including the multi-award-winning Latin jazz unit CRUZAO, the jazz-hip-hop group GRUVASYLUM, the mainstream NYC style hard-swinging ensemble BROWNMAN AKOUSTIC, and the 10-piece Salsa powerhouse MARRÓN MATIZADO.

Jason Raso has a funk heart and a jazz head. They are hard wired together by the strings of his bass guitar, and an innate ability to craft music that will take you on a journey that defines funked-up fusion.
For over 20 years, Raso has pursued the groove to such excellence that Exclaim Magazine declares, “Jason Raso’s bass is a full-on orchestra of ground vibrating pleasure.” You could focus on his finely honed technique, but it’s the energy and emotion of the tunes that carries the night.
Jason’s sixth album, The Red Arrow, is a debut with Summit Records that explores his jazz sensibilities with creative originals like Corner Pocket. He doubles on electric guitar, and the acoustic double bass, bringing endless groove to the jazz blend.
