A Renowned Jazz Musician and Pulitzer Prize Winner
Prof. Robert Stewart's influence in the jazz world is both profound and enduring. He played a pivotal role as the lead tenor saxophonist on Wynton Marsalis' Pulitzer Prize-winning "Blood on the Fields," an achievement that solidified his status among jazz greats.

Stewart developed a sound that has been described as one of the most innovative in the late 20th-century jazz scene, marking him as a significant figure in contemporary jazz.
Cultural Enrichment Through Global Experiences
Stewart's career took an unexpected turn in 1998. He was blacklisted after the release of his Islamic themed album for Quincy Jones and Qwest/Warner Bros. Records entitled “The Force.” This lead him to live and work across Europe, the Middle East, South America, Australia, and Africa. These years abroad significantly enriched his cultural and musical perspectives, as he absorbed diverse influences and traditions from the countries in which he resided. Upon his return to the United States in 2007, Stewart brought with him a wealth of international experiences that have continued to shape his creative output. These global encounters have deeply informed his approach to music, resulting in a unique blend of cultural influences that resonate throughout his compositions and performances.
