Grant Stewart w/Jeff Rupert Quartet

Blue Bamboo Center for the Arts, 1905 Kentucky Ave, Winter Park

“Grant is one of the most innovative musicians still carrying on the tradition of jazz, which encompasses bebop, swing and a little avant garde.” Lou Donaldson

“Grant is one of the brightest, gifted players I’ve heard and had on my bandstand. He can only do good-he’s got a long, brilliant career ahead of him.” George Coleman

“Be prepared to hear from this young man. I think he’s going to be one of the big boys – he IS already one of the big boys – and you’ll hear a lot of beautiful playing from him. Grant is what we call in the trade a ‘sleeper.’ A fantastic player, but not too many people know about him – yet! Once they do hear him they say, “WHOA!” – and that’s what I said when I did a recording with him. (And what I have to say to Grant is, “Keep on, keep on playing!”)” Clark Terry

“One of my favorite tenor players in the world!” Jimmy Cobb

Performing with Grant are Jeff Rupert, Richard Drexler, Marty Morell and Ben Kramer.
