Russell T. Seaman

Born: July 23, 1951

Music is special to me. There are many players, there are few musicians. I am looking for the correct place to connect with fellow musicians. I have been playing instruments most of my life. I am most interested in original composition. I am much less interested in trying to sound like someone else. Music is the basis of free expression. I have uploaded on YouTube some examples of my work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQv6YdveVfI&index=8&list=PLPww1L4p0RbExoqFlpUD2BYpH6xSj_A69

MUSICIAN, COMPOSER, MUSIC TEACHER EDUCATOR

Music connects us with our feelings and brings us closer as human beings. It is the most meaningful activity I can engage in and have pursued it for over 40 years. As a musician and composer, I am interested in exploring music broadly, creatively, and mindfully, using the moment as my starting point. I have released 20 albums of my compositions, two of which were nominated for a DMA in jazz in 2013 and 2014. Music has taken me to more than 20 countries, and I have composed for various ensembles, TV series, documentaries, and commercials. Between 2011 and 2014, I had the privilege of serving as the musical director for the legendary Danish singer-songwriter and film director Søren Kragh-Jacobsen.
