Luke Stewart's SILT Trio live in Athens (opening by SMOOP)
📆19 February 📍 Romantso
🎵The Scenius Series proudly present The Silt Trio, led by the pioneering American bassist and composer Luke Stewart performing in Greece for the first time!
Recognized by DownBeat Magazine as “one of the 25 most influential jazz artists of his generation,” Stewart is set to deliver an electrifying night of avant-garde jazz in Athens, joined by Chicago drumming legend Chad Taylor and renowned saxophonist Brian Settles.
The three musicians share a deep musical connection, performing with seamless synergy and the ease of longtime collaborators. Free from stylistic constraints and deeply rooted in the spirit of free jazz, their debut album, The Bottom (2022, Cuneiform Records), showcases The Silt Trio’s unique ability to blend free improvisation with dynamic compositions. In May 2024, they released Unknown Rivers (Pi Recordings), pushing the boundaries of jazz even further with an emphasis on rhythmic acuity and rich sonic textures.
Beyond his work as a bassist and saxophonist, Luke Stewart is a composer, producer, DJ, event organizer, writer, academic, and researcher, making him one of the most dynamic figures in Washington D.C.’s music scene. His influence extends beyond the local landscape, shaping contemporary music internationally. With an astonishingly wide-ranging career, a casual observer of the Washington D.C. music scene could easily get the mistaken impression that there are four or five guys coincidentally named Luke Stewart. He is a core member of multiple groundbreaking projects, including Irreversible Entanglements, Exposure Quintet, Blacks’ Myths, Heart of the Ghost, and Remembrance Quintet. Among the most in-demand collaborators, Stewart has performed with some of the most innovative musicians in jazz and experimental music, including David Murray, Nicole Mitchell, Moor Mother, Jaimie Branch, Nate Wooley, and Ken Vandermark.
