About Me
Since 1982, jazz guitarist/composer Rory Stuart has led New-York based groups. His first Quartet, w/ Keith Copeland on drums, Armen Donelian on piano, and Anthony Cox (or Calvin Hill) on bass, can be heard on a couple of recordings, including "Hurricane" (4 Stars in Downbeat, 1 track included here). In 2008, his current quartet, with Mark Shim on tenor saxophone, Matt Penman on bass, and Ari Hoenig on drums, has a new CD "So Rise Up," just released on SmartCat Music; a couple of excerpts are included on this myspace page. (Rory has also had the great pleasure in the past few years of performing with other wonderful musicians such as George Garzone, Billy Harper, Cecil Bridgewater, Dafnis Prieto, Jason Lindner, and Fracois Moutin; as well as some of his terrific former New School students such as John Ellis, Robert Glasper, Chris Tordini, and others --please see website for more).To get free music charts, purchase these and recordings, and for more information and photos, please see www.rorystuart.com.
