Guitarist Jamie Stewardson worked with pop and soul acts before turning to jazz. Now, on"Jhaptal", he is joined by some of the best jazz musicians on the East Coast: Tony Malaby, Alexei Tsiganov, John Hebert and George Schuller. It's easy to hear why they were attracted to Stewardson's writing. His pieces draw on wide interests and experiences in subtle and surprising ways. Mahavishnu's "Vision of the Emerald Beyond", Gustav Malher's "Kindertotenlieder", Arnold Schoenberg's dodecaphonics, Ornette Coleman's harmolodics, and music of the Indian subcontinent, all echo within the music.

Reviews

Jazz Review - Fred Grand

Guitarist Jamie Stewardson is one of an increasing number of new artists that seem to arrive on the scene fully formed. A dynamic post-McLaughlin soloist. Stewardson can also clearly write.

Jazzwise - Selwyn Harris

New York session led by a guitarist whose writing influences cover Mahavishnu and Indian rhythmic cycles to Schoenberg.
