“Echoesand Other Songs is a love letter to jazz, to the guitar, and to bandstand camaraderie – dedicated to the memory of my wonderful friend and musical collaborator: Jim Beard (1960-2024). Special thanks to the heavyweights who played their hearts out: Christian McBride, Chris Potter, Jim Beard, Antonio Sanchez, Leni Stern, Arto Tunçboyacian, Richard Bona, Dennis Chambers and Bob Franceschini.
Legendary guitarist Mike Stern has been celebrated for his versatile playing style since he first hit the scene in the 1970s, transcending genre by performing with Blood, Sweat & Tears, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, The Brecker Brothers, David Sanborn, Béla Fleck, Yellowjackets and more. With Echoes and Other Songs, Stern brings together an all-star group of musicians (including Chris Potter, Jim Beard, Christian McBride, Antonio Sanchez, Richard Bona & Dennis Chambers) for 11 brand-new originals that will captivate and unite guitar and jazz fans of all generations.
At Powerstation NY recording for Mike Sterns latest project. My cohorts, Richard Bona, Jim Beard and Dennis Chambers. Great to be back in studio C. Should be a good one! Even at the rehearsal things were awesome.
MIKE STERN nous a magnifiquement prouvé hier au New Morning (avec Randy Brecker et Lenny White) que son jeu et sa dextérité n’avaient pas souffert de sa terrible chute de l’an passé…
Son 17ème album sera publié le 8 septembre sur Heads Up/Concord/Socadisc, produit par Jim Beard.
Guests : Randy Brecker, Wallace Roney, Bob Franceschini, Bill Evans, Victor Wooten, Tom Kennedy, Dave Weckl, Dennis Chambers, Lenny White et Leni Stern.
