Alexander Stewart Band/Freddie Gavita/Frank Griffith

This talented twentysomething jazz crooner – who boasts a Kurt Elling-ish rasp and a husky, world weary sound that belies his age – adds a welcome warmth and authenticity to lesser known and classic standards. He's joined by fine band and a strong three-horn front iine that includes rising star trumpeter Gavita, US tenorist Griffith and tombonist Callum Au.
