Event information

Rising jazz vocal star Alexander Stewart, fresh from his triumphant appearance at Cheltenham Jazz Festival, is joined by alto sax star Nathaniel Facey, of award-winning jazz ensemble Empirical.

At just 22, Alexander Stewart is already creating a buzz as one of the most precociously talented vocalists of the new generation. With a voice rooted in Connick, Sinatra and Kurt Elling and, with a judiciously off-beat choice of material and clever re-arrangements of great standards, he translates the occasional pop song into jazz and adds some originals, including songs by pianist Alex Webb. Stewart will be performing with Webb, Facey, acclaimed bassist Gary Crosby and Andy Chapman on drums.

‘This talented twenty-two-year-old jazz singer glides effortlessly through his songs...and some terrific original material written by Alex Webb, his Musical Director. Anyone interested in a star-hopefully-in-the-making, should high-tail it to see him. (Cabaret Scenes magazine).
