Performance Notes | Young performer Alexander Stewart is creating a buzz as one of the most precociously talented vocalists of the new generation. Performing clever arrangements, turning the occasional pop song into jazz, and original songs by pianist Webb. At just 22 years of age, singer Alex Stewart is already creating a buzz as one of the most precociously talented vocalists of the new generation. With a voice rooted in Connick and Sinatra, Stewart avoids being a nostalgia act by a judiciously off-beat choice of material and a decidedly contemporary energy level. As well as clever re-arrangements of great standards, he translates the occasional pop song into jazz and adds some originals, including songs by pianist Webb. |
