Life and career


Allemano was raised in Edmonton, Alberta.[3] Her mother was a literature scholar and writer and her father is a musician and French teacher. She started playing musical instruments, starting with her brother's old trumpet. She mentioned early in her musical career that she identified herself as a trumpet player.[4]

She began playing trumpet when she was ten years old. Her first tutor was her father, who familiarized her with jazz. When she was 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 presently resides.

She began performing with Howard Johnson, Don Byron, Dave Holland, Mike Murley and Joe Lovano. She was invited by Dave Douglas to the Festival of New Trumpet Music in New York City, where she appeared on the scene with Ingrid Jensen and drew the attention of Down Beat as seen in the article "25 Trumpeters for the Future: A New Generation of Trumpeters Pave the Way for Jazz's Next Innovations". Allemano's quartet Lina Allemano Four performs free jazz and has released six albums. In 2012, she toured Europe with the group. In 2014 she appeared in Europe with Achim Kaufmann and Christian Weber. She currently splits her time between Berlin and Toronto.[5]

She composes "exciting pieces, which oscillate between complexity and anarchic freedom."[6] She also leads the improvisation ensemble Titanium Riot and the other members included Ryan Driver (analog synthesizer), Rob Clutton (bass guitar) and Nick Fraser (Percussion). She has also performed with The Paul Read Orchestra, Tim Posgate Horn Band, Cluttertones, The Jane Fair/Rosemary Galloway quintet, The Neufeld-Occhipienti Jazz Orchestra and as a sidewoman for groups with Marianne Trudel, Achilla Orru, Rob Clutton, Victor Bateman and Tania Gill. She has appeared on more than 40 albums.
