  Ian Stewart (musician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ian AR Stewart (18 July 1938 12 December 1985) was a Scottish rock musician.
Born in Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland, Stewart, or "Stu", played keyboards on most of the Stones' essential albums from the 1960s until the 1980s, though his work was often supplemented by such guests as session pianist Nicky Hopkins, soul musician Billy Preston, Phil Spector and Neil Young associate Jack Nitzsche and Ian McLagan of The Faces.
Stewart and Jones had been the musical leaders in the first incarnation of the Stones but distinct stylistic differences — the former's love of the jazzier boogie-woogie RandB of the Forties, the latter's penchant for the electric blues of the Fifties — nearly led to the group breaking apart.

 Ian the Joat: Life on B Ark
Stewart, who was presented the 1995 Michael Faraday Medal by the Royal Society for contributions to the public understanding of science, likes the fact that much of science is still wide open, still not properly understood, which is why books like John Horgan’s "The End of Science" bewilder him.
Stewart is one of a select group of scientists able to distill the arcane world of mathematics into something a wider audience can not only digest, but find delicious.
Stewart’s favorite books include Douglas Hofstadter’s "Gödel, Escher, Bach", which he calls the "ultimate in anti-reductionist thinking"; D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson’s 1917 "On Growth and Form" ("Thompson is the ultimate maverick guru."); John Barth’s "Giles Goat-Boy"; and "The Mote in God’s Eye", by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.

Ian Stewart (died 12 December, 1985), was a British rock musician.

The concept of the musician and the status of the musician in society varies from culture to culture.
An amateur musician is one for which music is a pastime and not an occupation.
Many times a musician can be named according to his or her instrument (a violinist, for example, is one who plays violin.) The "-ist" suffix is most common, though not universal (e.g.

Within the musician community (not to be confused with the music industry), almost everyone agrees that the Ladies and their manager, Nettwerk president, Terry McBride, have done something very, very right.
Stewart explains the concept from a band’s point of view: “micro-marketing is the euphemism for “work your fucking ass off” in the United States.” Hard work as it is, touring touring and more touring is the best way to gain lasting success.
Stewart cites Universal Honey as one band that has used extensive touring in the Northeast and Midwest to great advantage.

Stewart and Jones had been the musical leaders in the first incarnation of the Stones but distinct stylistic differences — the former's love of the jazzier boogie-woogie R&B of the Forties, the latter's penchant for the electric blues of the Fifties — nearly led to the group breaking apart.
Though they only released one commercially unsuccessful album, with Rocket 88 Stewart was finally able to play the vintage boogie-woogie jazz that he so loved and championed.
In a grateful gesture, Mick Jagger acknowledged Stewart's contributions to The Rolling Stones at the time of their induction to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 when he was inducted posthumously alongside his former bandmates.

 Ian McLagan carries his own weight to Slim's   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
When he handled keyboards in Rod Stewart's band, Ian McLagan refused to play "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy." He would stand behind his organ with his arms crossed, as Stewart pranced around to the disco beat.
He was a member of the British rock group Small Faces long before Stewart joined and the name was shortened to the Faces, so Stewart probably could have expected that kind of insubordination.
But he's been on the scene from the very beginning, when he was an art school student and musician who used to crowd into tiny clubs to see a new blues band called the Rolling Stones in west London, where he grew up.

 Rod Stewart/The Faces
Stewart cut this collection of 15 mostly-oldies for an MTV appearance with Ron Wood, who is featured not only on guitar but on the front cover (!).
Stewart didn't write anything and seems to have done little more than overdub his vocals onto the pre-fab backing tracks, and there are so many hack writers involved that there's no coherent sound.
As if Stewart hasn't already devolved into a walking soft rock parody of himself, now he's decided to cash in with a set of half-century old pop standards that no self-respecting rocker would have touched back in his glory years (except Ringo Starr, of course).

Ian was a wayward youth who was constantly asking, and being asked, what he was going to do with his life.
The Copeland brothers Miles, Stewart and Ian would each have a tremendous influence on the development of rock music in the late 70s and 80s, and reading Ian's inspirational story of hard-fought success will provide you with great insight into how it all came about.
