To a generation of contemporary jazz guitar aficionados, Mike Stern is regarded as one of the true guitar greats of his generation. A player of remarkable facility whose searing lines are informed mainly by bebop and the blues while also carrying a rock-tinged intensity, Stern made his mark with Miles Davis in the early '80s before launching his solo career in 1985. Since then he has released 18 recordings as a leader, six of which were nominated for GRAMMY® Awards. In support of his latest album, Echoes and Other Songs (Artistry/Mack Avenue), Mike hits the stage with Dennis Chambers (drums), Bob Franceschini (sax), Noam Tanzer (bass), and Leni Stern (guitar, ngoni).
