Jesse Stewart is an award-winning percussionist, composer, improviser, artist, instrument builder, educator, and writer. A dynamic and inventive performer, Stewart has a remarkable ability to coax unexpected — even magical — sounds out of virtually any resonating object or material. He has performed with many internationally acclaimed musicians including George E Lewis, Roswell Rudd, Bill Dixon, William Parker, Evan Parker and many others. In a 2002 review, Texas-based music critic Frank Rubolino described him as “… one of the finest young drummers and percussionists on the scene today” (One Final Note, Summer/Fall 2002). He teaches music composition at Carleton University in Ottawa (Ontario, Canada). Suite
