Toronto's LINA ALLEMANO FOUR has been hailed as one of Canada's most vibrant cutting edge avant-jazz groups.  Known internationally for their inventiveness and synergy, they deftly blur the line between composition and improvisation.  Their music showcases Lina's progressive and open compositional style combined with her band's exquisite expressiveness and knack for the unexpected.  A stimulating dynamic of interaction and spontaneity assures that the group's performances are always lighthearted and full of surprises.  The band has toured extensively over the past 6 years, having released 3 widely acclaimed CDs: Jargon (2010), Gridjam (2008), and Pinkeye (2006).

Lina Allemano Four's recent highlights include: Coast to Coast USA Tour; Feature Performances at Jazz Festivals and Major Tours across Canada; Recordings for CBC Radio and TVO; Nominations for Canadian Independent Music Awards' Favorite Jazz Group and National Jazz Awards Acoustic Group of the Year.
