Bob Stewart
Born:
Over the last 40 years Bob Stewart has established himself as both an innovative tuba player and equally creative jazz educator. In addition to embracing the tuba’s historical position as the original bass instrument in jazz, Mr. Stewart’s focus on reintroducing the Tuba into a contemporary band setting has encouraged many tuba players and band leaders to explore this approach. As a band leader, recording artist, and featured soloist Mr. Stewart’s playing has been featured on over 80 recordings. He has performed and recorded with such luminaries as Gil Evans, Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, Charlie Haden, Sonny Rollins, Charles Mingus, Carla Bley, Wynton Marsalis, Jason Moran, Lester Bowie, Muhal Richard Abrams, Henry Threadgill, Arthur Blythe, Jimmy Heath, Frank Foster, David Murray, Chaka Khan, Dap Kings, Aretha Franklin to name a few. With decades of experience in public education Mr
Lucian Ban: jazz, musica popolare della Romania e l'alter ego Mat Maneri
by Neri Pollastri
Originario della Romania, sebbene da quasi trent'anni residente a New York, il pianista Lucian Ban alterna da tempo le proprie produzioni originali alla ricerca sulla musica della propria terra, quasi sempre assieme al violista Mat Maneri, con il quale forma da anni uno stretto sodalizio artistico. Dopo aver più volte parlato dei suoi album dedicati alla ...
Alex Harding, Lucian Ban: Blutopia
by Neri Pollastri
Il pianista Lucian Ban e il sassofonista baritono Alex Harding, assidui collaboratori dalla fine degli anni Novanta, riuniscono qui un quintetto di stelle per interpretare una musica assai diversificata di brano in brano e la cui sintesi è forse espressa da una citazione del filosofo Ibn Al-Arabi riportata nel libretto, la quale celebra il movimento quale ...
Lucian Ban: Following Bartók's Trail Through the Transylvanian Villages
by Dean Nardi
It is hard to re-invent where jazz can go. Players can eschew all the conventional methods they want, but a wheel is still a wheel. This is a reason why pianist Lucian Ban's efforts to bring to light the Hungarian composer, pianist and ethnomusicologist Bela Bartók's works as a field collector of folk music in 21st-century ...

Jeff Lederer: Guilty!!!
by Mark Corroto
Note to conservative Republicans: stop reading this review now. Note to self: There cannot be but a handful of folks who are both MAGA and jazz and improvised music listeners. Jeff Lederer's Guilty!!! recalls a time when jazz was at the forefront of the zeitgeist. Max Roach, John Coltrane, and Charles Mingus were creating ...
TGB: Room4
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un trio con tuba, chitarra e batteria è cosa tutt'altro che usuale. Tale anti-regola, se così la possiamo definire, ci giunge da tre giovanotti portoghesi, in realtà insieme ormai da vent'anni (questo, inciso nel gennaio 2022 e forte di nove brani tutti originali, è il loro quarto album, sempre su Clean Feed), capaci di regalarci un ...
Daniel Herskedal: A Single Sunbeam
by Geno Thackara
What Del Close did for the art of improv comedy or Jacques Torres for the art of chocolate, Daniel Herskedal does for the tuba. An occasional star such as Bob Stewart has taken the instrument somewhere fresh outside the time-honored contexts of orchestra or marching band, but it is another thing to make the entire tradition ...
Arthur Blythe: Lenox Avenue Breakdown
by Chris May
One of the most egregiously underestimated albums in jazz history, alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe's Lenox Avenue Breakdown was released on vinyl by Columbia in 1979 and on CD by Columbia (Japan) in 1995 and Koch Jazz in 1998. That's it bar a dodgy fourfer. Blythe fronts a septet completed by flautist James Newton, tubaist Bob Stewart, ...
