Rex William Stewart
22.02.1907, Филадельфия — 07.09.1967, Лос-АнджелесКорнетист, трубач, выдающийся солист эпохи свинга. Его считают создателем нескольких эффектных
исполнительских приемов, таких как "бормотание", игра с полуоткрытым раструбом, неполное нажатие
вентилей. Дюк Эллингтон сказал о Стюарте: "Его глиссандо в Boy Meets Horn незабываемо, но было бы
несправедливо оценивать Стюарта только по этим трюкам". Стюарт унаследовал от Луи Армстронга
темперамент и силу звука, от Баббера Майли — эффектное использование сурдин и от Бикса Байдербека
— изысканность фразировки.
Рос в Вашингтоне, начал играть на корнете в 10 лет, а в 14 уже работал в танцевальных оркестрах. В
1924–25 в Нью-Йорке входил бэнд Элмера Сноудена, а в 1926 сменил Луи Армстронга в оркестре
Флетчера Хендерсона. Лучшие записи: Singin’ The Blues, Stampede, Sugar Foot Stomp, Sugar.
Оставался с Хендерсоном до 1932 года, хотя параллельно выступал с Хорасом Хендерсоном, с
McKinney’s Cotton Pickers. В 1933 собрал биг-бэнд, но не удержал его. Некоторое время работал в
оркестре Луиса Рассела, а в декабре 1934 года присоединился к Дюку Эллингтону (работал в оркестре
10 лет). Лучшие соло этого периода исполнил в композициях: Kissin’ My Baby Goodnight, Weely, Five
O’Clock Drag, Perdido, Clementine. После 1944 года работал со своим ансамблем в антрепризе Нормана
Грэнца Jazz At The Philharmonic. В 1954 ушел со сцены, купил ферму в Нью-Джерси, стал продюсером
радио-шоу и писателем (написал автобиографию Boy Meets Horn и вместе со Стэнли Дэнсом книгу Jazz
Masters Of The Thirties). В 1957–58 ненадолго появился в нью-йоркской студии для записей с Кути
Уильямсом, собрал оркестр Henderson All Stars Directed By Rex Stewart (другое название Fletcher
Henderson Reunion Band). В 60-е годы поселился в Лос-Анджелесе, изредка писал статьи для журналов
Down Beat и Playboy. Выступал на фестивале в Монтерее с Бенни Картером (1960, 1962).Записи:с оркестром Дюка Эллингтона (1935–44)а также:Rex Stewart & His Orchestra (1954)
