Louis Stewart & Martin Taylor: Acoustic Guitar Duets
by Ian Patterson
Jazz is littered with examples of starry duos aligning in one-off recording projects that do not quite match expectations. Often the lack of real spark comes down to too much deference being shown. When such duos do come off, however, say as with the collaborations between Bill Evans and Jim Hall, to cite one outstanding example, ...
Louis Stewart & Jim Hall: The Dublin Concert
by Ian Patterson

Louis Stewart: Out On His Own
by Ian Patterson
In his lifetime, Irish guitarist Louis Stewart was probably more celebrated abroad than at home, winning the Best Soloist prize at Montreux Jazz Festival in 1968, playing in the house band at Ronnie Scott's and touring with Benny Goodman, J.J.
