Adventurous chamber-jazz quartet LINA ALLEMANO FOUR based in Toronto & Berlin plays trumpeter Lina Allemano’s striking original music. Allemano is recognized as one of the leading innovative trumpeters/composers on the scene today. The band is known for their trailblazing originality, their telepathic group interaction, seamless improvisations and evocative sonic explorations. The quartet has been touring extensively across Europe, USA and Canada since 2005 and recorded 7 internationally-acclaimed albums. They were nominated for 2022 JUNO Awards Jazz Album of the Year (Group) and the band was included 3 years in a row 2022, 2023 & 2024 in DownBeat Magazine Annual Critics Poll for ‘Rising Star Jazz Group’. Their latest album Pipe Dream was called “One of the year’s most significant jazz recordings” (Stuart Broomer, The WholeNote). Andreas Fellinger, Freistil Magazin, Austria writes, “Allemano creates chamber music like no other, with jazz-like compositions and concise improvisation”. Troy Dostert, All About Jazz, USA writes, “Fearless trumpeter [Allemano] finds pathways toward illumination and wonder, assisted by the talented members of her quartet”. The group’s recent performance in Padova, Italy was called “extraordinary” and “a total revelation” by Nicola Negri, Centro D’Arte, Italy.
