One of the best bebop guitarists.......2002-02-17

Although Louis Stewart's name won't be familiar to many, I consider him one of the major bebop guitar players. This live set was recorded in Scotland before a small but enthusiastic audience. The set list doesn't hold a lot of promise with 9 overplayed standards, but the playing is unbeliavably fresh and modern. Stewart is somewhat a virtuoso technician, but his lines are very sophisticated and carefully developed.

This record is a must for anyone interested in jazz guitar, modern or traditional.

My favourite guitar player.......2000-08-18

As an amateur musician in Ireland in the 70s & 80s my main inspiration was Louis Stewart, this fine guitarist played with the cream of bands in the 60s & 70s before settling down at home in Dublin making only rare appearances abroad. After I took to roadie work in the 80s, I worked for Irish blues legend Rory Gallagher (RIP) who often lamented the fact that Louis didnt have the success he so richly deserves. My favourite Louis Stewart album is Out On His Own recorded in Bray in 1976.

Sure anonymity -- be an irish jazz musician........1999-09-08

He won't leave home (Ireland) to tour internationally and promote himself, but this is a fine jazz guitarist. He jokes that he kissed a frog and instead of turning into a prince he turned into an Irish jazz musician -- a sure path to the poorhouse. I caught a couple sets in Dublin -- good stuff.
