Bert Seager | Jazz Piano

“Seager is one of our most valuable local treasures, and his music is always well considered.”

— Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide

“Seager has distilled his lyrical approach into perfectly balanced and unfailingly beautiful music full of quiet subtleties.”
— Ed Hazell, The Boston Phoenix

“Seager’s group balances fresh immediacy and a whiff of nostalgia.”

“Seager, unafraid to use space, achieves tension and interest through sophisticated melodic design and piquant harmonic thinking.”

Thanks for stopping by.

I’ve posted some videos here, and a blog, where you will perhaps notice the intersection of music, dharma, world events and nature, as a path of discovery and interconnection.

Besides finding my albums on Spotify, Apple Music and the other services, they are now download-able for free from this site.

At the core is live music, and so I am excited and grateful to be playing with my quartet “Heart of Hearing” on the first Wednesday of every month at the Lilypad in Cambridge, MA and two Thursdays a month at Spice Thai Kitchen in Ipswich, MA. The “Schedule” page has all the details.

I send out a few brief emails each year. If you are interested please sign up at the bottom of this page.

Yours in harmony,

Forest Refuge

April 29, 2022

This Sunday, May first, I am headed to the Forest Refuge at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, MA for a month-long silent retreat. I am excited about going. The simplicity of the retreat environment, designed to allow us to sustain our focus, has over the years encouraged me and many others to see into the processes of our distractions and entanglements. Things are pared down so we can experience in a sustained way the beauty of our unadorned lives and connect more clearly with our life purposes: how they are reflected in our relationships, career, family, and the world we are making with our lives. We discover, moment by moment that our essential nature, aware, kind, compassionate, and wise is always and already present.
