First UK tour by Grant Stewart, one of the most influential tenor sax players on the US scene. After nine years of intense learning and playing in his hometown Toronto, aged 19 Stewart flew to New York, where from day one he did things his own way, seeking tutelage from trumpeter Donald Byrd, pianist Barry Harris and saxophonist Joe Lovano.

He is, perhaps, the prime example of an accomplished jazz musician who never attended formal college. Instead, he devoted his time to transcribing and studying alone, and his efforts quickly paid off.

He has now recorded 12 records as a leader and has performed with many major artists including singers Jon Hendricks and Etta Jones and pianist Brad Mehldau. Do not miss this rare opportunity to catch him, and in premiership company.
