LINA ALLEMANO FOUR (CAN)

LINA ALLEMANO FOUR is one of Canada's leading avant-garde/free-jazz bands, known internationally for their inventiveness and synergy as they deftly blur the line between composition and improvisation.  With 4 critically acclaimed albums to their credit, the Toronto based band has been touring extensively over the past 8 years all across Europe, USA and Canada.  Their newest album, Live at the Tranzac, has been receiving much favourable attention from reviewers internationally.  Lina Allemano was named one of DownBeat Magazine's top innovative trumpeters for the future.  "(Trumpeter) Lina Allemano is one of the most exciting new voices of the last few years… this music is playful… It doesn’t take its avant-gardism too seriously. There’s no mistaking that Allemano is an important new talent…" - Point of Departure, June 2013
