St. Ed's alum Steve Kortyka led our jazz band through two masterclasses on 12 March 2019.

Based out of Astoria, NY, Steve Kortyka is an accomplished mulit-instrumentalist, composer and educator currently working on his next studio album to be released in the Winter of 2018. As a full time performer in NYC, he is a main member of the Brian Newman Quintet/Quartet, one of NYC's modern working bands holding multiple residencies throughout the city and earning a living performing contemporary jazz. The Grammy Award Winning albums 'Cheek to Cheek' (recorded in 2014) and 'Tony Bennett Celebrates 90' feature some of Steve's arranging work on 'Firefly', 'I Can't Give You Anything But Love', 'Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered' and 'La Vie En Rose', as well as an improvised solo on Irving Berlin's classic "Let's Face the Music and Dance."

Since arriving in NYC in 2011, Steve has had the opportunity to perform at some of NYC's notorious venues which include Radio City Music Hall, Cipriani's, The Iridium, Rockefeller Center's Square, Smalls, Birdland, Sony Music Hall, 54 Below, The Rose Theatre at Lincoln Center and many others throughout the city as well as lead and record 3 studio albums under his own name. He has made numerous major network television appearances on shows including 'The Jimmy Fallon Show', 'Strictly Come Dancing' (U.K.), 'Good Morning America', 'Christmas at Rockefeller Center', ABC's 'A Very Gaga Thanksgiving', PBS's 'Great Performances' and 'NYE Live at Rockefeller Center with Carson Daly' alongside Brian Newman in support of Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett. Also serving as an Arranger/Music Director for the Brian Newman Orchestra, he has written a number of arrangements for the band's former residency at the historic NYC venue, the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center and continues to co-lead the New Alchemy Jazz Orchestra alongside some of NYC's most brilliant up and coming arrangers.
