Grant Stewart Quartet

Overview

With Tardo Hammer, piano; John Webber, bass; and Philip Stewart, drum

“Grant is one of the most innovative young musicians still carrying on the tradition of jazz…” – Lou Donaldson 

“Grant is what we call in the trade a ‘sleeper.’ A fantastic player, but not too many people know about him – yet! Once they do hear him they say, ‘WHOA!’ – and that’s what I said when I did a recording with him.” – Clark Terry 

“One of my favorite tenor players in the world!” – Jimmy Cobb 

It would be difficult to give saxophonist Grant Stewart a more glowing endorsement than those already given by some of the top jazz musicians in the world. With pianist Tardo Hammer, bassist John Webber, and drummer Philip Stewart – all equally capable and experienced players in their own rights – the Grant Stewart Quartet will light up the Dizzy’s stage. This is straight-ahead 1950’s and 60’s inspired jazz, respectfully performed with a contemporary approach.
