Dk Stewart Sextet
Live In Olympia
Northwest Blues Legend and six-time Muddy Award winner for Best Keyboards, DK Stewart, and his veteran band featuring the Soul Survivor Horns, deliver masterfully on this 11-cut disc. DK and his ensemble serve up swinging, up-tempo jump blues (Ray Charles, T-Bone Walker); hard-grooving New Orleans funk (Earl King, Alan Toussaint and the Meters); and slashing Chicago blues (Memphis Slim, Otis Spann). DK Stewarts New Orleans, boogie-woogie piano style has been a driving force behind such blues giants as Robert Cray, Paul deLay and Curtis Salgado. For the past several years, hes been tearing up major festival stages with his Sextet, which features longtime Paul deLay guitarist Peter Dammann, and the Soul Survivor Horns of British sax legend Chris Mercer (John Mayall, Dr. John) and NW all-star trumpeter Joe McCarthy (Robert Cray).
