Nine-Piece Chamber Ensemble Releases Album that Features BHS Grad, University Band Director Seybert

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on February 24, 2024

NewStreamBrass, a nine-piece chamber ensemble, is released their classical/jazz album A Step Forward on February 15 through Mon Hills Records. This album will be available on all streaming platforms.
 
The album includes Dr. Austin Seybert. Seybert is currently the Director of Bands and Assistant Professor of Trombone at the University of Texas at Tyler. Seybert’s musical journey began in Bridgeport at Bridgeport High School. He completed his undergraduate studies at Marshall University and his graduate studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Iowa.
 
AStep Forward is NewStream’s first album, a blended mixture of classical and jazz idioms. The album consists of five original compositions and three arrangements. It features music from group members Robert Sears, Seybert, and the titular piece composed by Connor Frederick. A Step Forward highlights the group’s fluency in orchestral, 21st-century, commercial, and jazz music styles; in addition to showcasing their jazz improvisation ability with members soloing throughout the album.
 
A testament to their versatility, NewStream Brass presents an imaginative arrangement of Radiohead's "Everything In Its Right Place." The arrangement by Brett Copeland breathes new life into the song, showcasing the ensemble's adaptability and creativity in blending and blurring genres.
