LOUIS STEWART - New and Re-Releases (Livia Records)

[Livia Records]

The reactivated Livia Records, an Irish Jazz label, set up in 1977 to record Louis Stewart, will issues re-releases and previosuly unreleased albums starting in late November 22.
The first release is the 1977 "OUT ON HIS OWN" - remastered and with 3 additional tracks, a 16 page booklet with lots of new photographs.

Brilliant.

Lucky to see Louis twice, one in Limerick and once in Cork.

That’s great news, I’ve got a couple of the old Louis Stewart albums on Livia, they are excellent.

Yes I think I saw him at least 3 times, first at a jazz festival somewhere up north when I was at uni (that was the one I have mentioned before, where he plonked his guitar down on my table and asked me to look after it while he went to the bar!), then at Peter Ind’s Bass Clef in London, and I’m fairly sure I saw him at Ronnie Scotts too. Always played superbly.

By the way I just found this interesting site which lists all his recordings:

I hope they can reissue ‘I Thought About You’, with John Taylor, Sam Jones and Billy Higgins, that is a little-known masterpiece in my opinion (and a treasured possession!)
