Luke Stewart is an innovative figure in Washington D.C.’s music scene, celebrated for his boundless creativity and versatility as a bassist, saxophonist, producer, and broadcaster. His work has enriched the city’s legacy as a hub for creative music, exploring a wide range of genres and collaborating with artists from around the globe.

As a prominent voice in D.C.'s avant-garde jazz scene, Stewart leads the Stilt Trio, a tightly connected ensemble featuring legendary Chicago drummer Chad Taylor and D.C. saxophonist Brian Settles. Together, they craft a dynamic and free-flowing sound that merges complex rhythms, spontaneous compositions, and deep cultural references. Their album The Bottom perfectly embodies this philosophy, offering a sonic journey that intertwines Stewart’s Mississippi roots with his expansive musical explorations.

The trio’s ability to balance structured compositions with moments of free improvisation highlights their collective chemistry and their commitment to breaking musical boundaries.
