Kirk Stuart

Charles Kincheloe "Kirk" Stuart (April 13, 1934, Charleston, West Virginia - December 17, 1982) was an American jazz pianist and educator.

Stuart studied at a conservatory before accompanying singers such as Billie Holiday (1956), Della Reese (1957-59), and Sarah Vaughan (1961-63). He also arranged and conducted for these singers. He led his own unit in Los Angeles later in the 1960s, and recorded with Al Grey in 1965 and once more with Reese in 1967. In later years he taught at Howard University, led ensembles in Las Vegas, and accompanied Joe Williams at the Smithsonian Institute in 1982. Later that year he died during surgery on his spleen.
