Space Exchange continues at the Thunderbird with the Lina Allemano Four. The band comprises trumpeter Allemano, Brodie West on alto saxophone, Andrew Downing on double bass, and Nick Fraser on drums.
Hailed as one of Canada’s leading avant-garde/free-jazz bands, Lina Allemano Four is known internationally for their inventiveness and synergy as they deftly blur the line between composition and improvisation. The band has toured extensively over the past 8 years across Europe, USA and Canada. Their newest and 4th 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. ”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
