Alexander Stewart - All or Nothing at All (2016)

Die Jazz-Pop-Sensation des Frühjahrs 2013 heißt Alexander Stewart. Sein Debüt „All Or Nothing At All“ erinnert an die jungen Frank Sinatra und Mel Tormé. Es swingt elegant, schmeichelt mit klassischen Crooner-Balladen und spannt mit Jazzadaptionen ausgesuchter Pop-Klassiker bewusst einen Bogen von den zeitlosen Standards des Great American Songbook zur Gegenwart.

At just 24 years of age, Manchester-born singer Alexander Stewart has already created a buzz as one of the most precociously talented vocalists of the new generation. With a warm, urgent voice that shows off his early love of Billie Holiday and Tony Bennett, he avoids being a nostalgia act with his judiciously off-beat choice of material and a decidedly contemporary energy level. As well as clever re-arrangements of some of the famous standards, he stamps his mark on great pop songs as well as adding some superb originals, including songs by his pianist and musical director Alex Webb.
