Lina Allemano (born October 20, 1973) is a Canadian musician in the genre of jazz and free improvisation.




Life and career


Allemano grew up in Edmonton, Alberta. Her mother was a literature scholar and writer, and her father is a musician and French teacher.
At ten years old, she began to play her brother's old trumpet. Her father familiarized her with jazz, and at the age of 12, she began to take classical lessons. Her first club concert was at the age of 15. For her education, she moved from Edmonton to Toronto in 1993, where she now resides.
She began performing with Howard Johnson, Don Byron, Dave Holland, Mike Murley, and Joe Lovano. She was invited to the Festival of New Trumpet Music in New York City by Dave Douglas, where she appeared on the scene with Ingrid Jensen and drew the attention of Down Beat. In 2012, she toured Europe with the group, and in 2014, she appeared in Europe with Achim Kaufmann and Christian Weber.
Allemano's quartet Lina Allemano Four performs free jazz and has released six albums.
She composes pieces described as both "[complex] and [having a sense of] anarchic freedom." She also leads the improvisation ensemble Titanium Riot with members including Ryan Driver (analog synthesizer), Rob Clutton (bass guitar), and Nick Fraser (percussion). She has performed with the Paul Read Orchestra, Tim Posgate Horn Band, Cluttertones, the Jane Fair/Rosemary Galloway quintet, the Neufeld-Occhipienti Jazz Orchestra, and has performed as a sidewoman for groups with Marianne Trudel, Achilla Orru, Rob Clutton, Victor Bateman and Tania Gill. Additionally, she has appeared on more than 40 albums.
She currently splits her time between Berlin and Toronto.
