Early Career September 2011, Manchester-born singer Alexander Stewart

released his debut album ‘All Or Nothing At All’ to critical acclaim.  The ‘Stellar’ blend of original material, clever re-arrangements of some famous standards, alongside great pop songs, became a sure-fire hit, confirming a place for

Alexander Stewart in the heart of the UK music scene.

2012 Alexander toured much of the UK playing numerous music festivals, including both the London and Cheltenham Jazz

Festivals, sell-out shows at Ronnie Scott’s, the Elgar Room at the Royal Albert Hall and in almost all of London’s jazz rooms.

2013 Alexander ventured overseas, with an ever increasing fan

base in Europe, with dates in Holland, Portugal and Germany, where he headlined sell out shows at over 12 festivals in that

country alone. Music festivals, including the Jazz Rally, Düsseldorf and

Stimmen festival saw Alexander headline nights alongside Elton John, Rufus Wainwright and Sir Bob Geldof to packed

German audiences.

ABOUT ALEXANDER

2014 Stewart took up a three-month residency at the St James

Theatre in London. The year also brought live radio performances on BBC radio 3's 'In Tune', as well as on Jazz

FM where Alexander featured as James Tormés 'hidden treasure'.

Alexander's overwhelming support from his German audience led to the recording of a second, live album in

Germany entitled ‘The Live Session’. Days after the release of the album, Alexander headlined Jazz Open, Stuttgart

alongside other acts including Gregory Porter, and Van Morrison.

Alexander was thrilled to be invited to be a guest vocalist on two performances with the legendary Count Basie big band,

marking his Asia debut in December at the world-famous Venetian Hotel, Macau, China.

2015 Beginning of the recording started for the new album early

2015 with sessions taking place in both London and Prague. The new orchestral album features a UK big band of the

finest jazz musicians recorded at Angel Studios London by Grammy -award winning engineer Steve Price.

Arrangements are continued to add full string orchestration for the album to be recorded the following spring.
