STUART McCALLUM

“Absolutely beautiful guitar playing. Stuart is such a talent – get out there and support him.” Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2

“Guitarist Stuart McCallum’s compositions are exemplary of everything that is exciting about new British jazz.” Jazzwise, UK

"Simple, understated and hypnotic he had the audience locked in and silent…Living proof that less is more". Jez Nelson, Jazz on 3, BBC Radio 3

FFrom jazz beginnings to DJ culture, Stuart McCallum’s music is ‘alternative jazz’ – a distillation of influences, creating a sound that is concentrated and distinctive. Not wanting to hide behind over complicated harmonic and rhythmical structures, angular and forgettable melodies, Stuart’s music is a new hybrid of composition, production and performance. It embraces simple, memorable melodies, bass lines and drum beats, with electronica and improvisation enriched by elegant

orchestral writing.
