Curtis Stewart

This week my guest is Curtis Stewart, a four-time GRAMMY award nominated violinist from New York City, USA.

Stewart was born into a musical family – his father is avant jazz tuba pioneer Bob Stewart and his mother was Elektra Kurtis, a soulful Greek jazz violinist.

As a soloist, Curtis has performed at some of the most prestigious venues in the USA. He has made special appearances with Wyclef Jean; and sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden with Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, and Seal.

In this episode we talk about his latest album "of Love" which is a requiem of sorts, dedicated to Curtis' late mother who died of brain cancer in 2021, aged 66.

We discuss how he turned to composition and music during the caretaking and grieving process for his mother.
