Jeff Newell’s New-Trad projects are modern musical vehicles for the roots of American music. Combining instruments and elements of a traditional New Orleans brass band with those of a modern jazz group, this ensemble explores the early sources of our nation’s musical heritage (church music, band music, blues, etc.) and combines these influences in ways that speak to and excite modern audiences. Formed in 1994, the New-Trad sound has been brought to clubs, theaters, schools, festivals, and churches, thrilling audiences from the Atlantic to the Rockies. “Brownstone,” the New-Trad Octet CD released in April of 2007, met with overwhelming response from the press and jazz radio community, starting as the #1 add and staying on the charts for over six weeks.
