ISSUE 63: REX STEWART
The Magazine
Stewart possessed one of the most individual voices in jazz, whether playing it, talking about it or writing about it. Between the 1920s and 1940s, especially in his 11 years with Duke Ellington, he developed a highly individual cornet style that distinguished him from all his peers.
The Music
Small-group sides such as 'Rexatious' and 'Tea And Trumpets' intersperse some of Stewart's finest performances in big-band settings with Fletcher Henderson ('Singin' The Blues') and Duke Ellington ('Trumpet In Spades', 'Morning Glory' and 'Main Stem'), plus collaborations with Sidney Bechet.
