Trumpeter and singer Brian Newman's first album for Verve, SHOWBOAT, is out today and features a brand new track with his long-time friend and colleague 

LADY GAGA on "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," a song that was first recorded by Nina Simone in 1964, and subsequently covered by The Animals. Joe Cocker and Elvis Costello among a host of other artists through the decades.  Brian explains, "Please Don't let Me Be Misunderstood was on a short list of songs we wanted to record with LG. Our choices of how to arrange this song and every song always stays true to our original sound as a band. While steeped in the tradition of the Great American Songbook and at the same time we are pushing the boundaries of the music we know and love. LG makes that very easy for us because of her great range and vast knowledge of the music. We didn't want to do what was already done and make it our own. This definitely shines on this track and I'm excited for everyone to hear it!"

    Posted At: January 21, 2019

    Let's just say, if there were a trumpet player in Goodfellas, it would have been played by Brian Newman. And if he were to get matching tattoos with someone, it would be with Lady GaGa and the tattoo would have been designed by Tony Bennett…and that's exactly what went down with Brian and Lady GaGa. Meet Brian Newman - this cat's got the chops to blow the roof off the joint, while dressed to the n...

  • Brian Newman shows his bona-fides on SHOWBOAT / Jazz Weekly
    Posted At: December 3, 2018

    Here, for his first album for Verve, Trumpeter and vocalist Brian Newman shows the bona-fides of a jazzer that is able to connect with the masses in ways few people this side of Diana Krall are able. On vocals, he gives a swagger to a Caribbean flavored "Jockey Full of Bourbon" while crooning with pathos on a gloriously desultory "You Don't Know What Love Is" with a similarly distraught teaming with Gaga...

    Posted At: April 30, 2015

    The man sitting next to me at the Black Penny in the French Quarter is very tall, pencil thin, in a black T-shirt and trousers with a skull-and-cross-bones belt buckle. He leans into his Vieux Carre cocktail with his tattoo sleeves propped on the bar, his pin-striped jacket hanging under it. In New Orleans, he could be anybody-a rocker, a random tourist, just a guy. But in barely 24 hours, he'll be headl...
