Jazz & Blues Showcase feat. Grant Stewart Quartet

Canadian native Stewart’s distinguished three decade professional career includes multiple awards won on sax from Downbeat Magazine, and worldwide performance & recorded work with a host of revered jazz elites at top clubs, colleges and festivals.  Vocalists Etta Jones & Jon Hendricks are among them, as are horn players Clark Terry, Al Grey, Curtis Fuller & drummer Jimmy Cobb.  His performance & recorded work continues with many well-known, contemporary jazz artists.  Among them are Eric Alexander, Bill Charlap, Joe Magnarelli, Russell Malone & Harry Connick, Jr.  His credits also include being one of the first jazz artists to perform at the historic Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.  

“Downbeat” & “Jazzman” magazines named Stewart one of the jazz world’s premier saxophonists.  Labeled “…a veritable tenor colossus…” in “Jazzman,” with a sound reminiscent of Dexter Gordon & Sonny Rollins, a critique in “The Villager” expressed this about his playing: “his huge sound, creativity and beautiful melodic sense combine to easily place him among the finest saxophonists on the scene today.”
