Luke Stewart is a composer-improviser, bassist, multi-instrumentalist, and organizer[1] known for his work as a soloist;[8] leader of his Exposure Quintet, with Edward Wilkerson, Jr., Ken Vandermark, Jim Baker, and Avreeayl Ra;[4] and member of groups including Blacks' Myths,[3] Heart of the Ghost,[5] Six Six,[6] Irreversible Entanglements,[2] and Heroes Are Gang Leaders,[7] a literary free jazz ensemble that was awarded the 2018 American Book Award for Oral Literature.[9]

Stewart has co-run DC jazz advocacy nonprofit CapitalBop since 2010, curating the organization's longstanding "Loft Jazz" concert series and writing music criticism for its website.[10] In 2020, he was included among DownBeat's "25 for the Future"[11] as an artist who "shapes the artistic landscape".[12]

He has performed or recorded with artists including Camae Ayewa,[13] Keir Neuringer, Aquiles Navarro, Tcheser Holmes, Archie Shepp,[14] Warren "Trae" Crudup, III,[3] Miriam Parker,[15] Daniel Carter, Fay Victor,[16] Hamiet Bluiett,[17] Wadada Leo Smith,[18] Jarrett Gilgore,[5] Ian McColm, Anthony Pirog, Jaimie Branch, Thurston Moore,[19] Leila Bordreuil, and Priests.[20]

Early life and career

Stewart grew up in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, where he studied saxophone, violin, and guitar before he began playing electric bass in high school.[1][21] Stewart began his undergraduate degree as an international studies major at the University of Mississippi.[1] In 2005, as he prepared to begin an internship at the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty in Washington, D.C., Hurricane Katrina hit the Mississippi Gulf Coast.[1] Stewart decided to stay in D.C. and transferred to American University, where his studies expanded to include audio engineering.[10] In addition to his bachelor's from American, Stewart completed a master's in Arts Management and Entrepreneurship at The New School in 2019.[22]

After moving to D.C., Stewart began frequently attending and performing at avant-garde jazz and rock gigs. He also interned at "Jazz and Justice" radio station WPFW, eventually hosting his own weekly jazz radio show and working as a production coordinator.[10]

In 2010, Stewart met Giovanni Russonello, who had recently founded jazz advocacy organization and website CapitalBop.[23] Stewart began writing for and then co-running the organization,[10] which was awarded a $100,000 grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation in 2019.[24]

Stewart met Camae Ayewa (also known as Moor Mother) while playing with Laughing Man, an art-punk band that shared bills with Ayewa's group the Mighty Paradocs.[2] One year after the 2014 "People Issue" of the Washington City Paper called Stewart a "jazz revolutionary",[25] he joined Ayewa, Keir Neuringer, Aquiles Navarro, and Tcheser Holmes in forming the "liberation-oriented free-jazz collective" Irreversible Entanglements.[26] The group performed in the inaugural season of the Kennedy Center's "Direct Current" contemporary culture showcase,[27] and their releases have been included in best-of lists in Magnet,[28] NPR Music,[29] The Quietus,[30] and Stereogum's "20 Best Jazz Albums Of The 2010s".[31]

Stewart has said he wants his collaborative work to "highlight the non-hierarchical nature of free improvisational music" and to challenge "the concept of the capital-C composer and how it affects our perceptions of music".[21]

In 2021, he was a Resident Composer at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn.[32]
