| Born on January 10, 1954 in Boston, Mike Stern started his carreer |
| as a guitar player with Blood, Sweat & Tears at the age of 23. His |
| guitar teacher at the time at Berklee School of Music, Pat |
| Metheny, had recommended him to the producer of this group. |
| After that, things moved quickly. Via Billy Cobham's Band he ended |
| up in the first band that Miles Davis formed for his come-back in |
| 1981. On this period Mike's saying: |
| "It was a huge opportunity. I can hardly describe it. I was |
| absorbing a lot, learning a lot and even now I'm still working on |
| the stuff Miles tought me then. It was very complicated and I've |
| changed a lot as a person during the time with him. But in the end |
| everything ended up okay." |
| After a few years Miles asked him to join his band for a period of |
| a another year, which was highly unusual. |
| The productivity of these three years can be found on three |
| records: Man With The Horn, Star People and We Want Miles. |
| Then Miles thought it was time for Mike to start playing his own |
| kind of music and the collaboration ended. After that, Mike worked |
| together with bass player Jaco Pastorius and the saxophonists |
| David Sanborn and Michael Brecker. |
| |
| In 1989 Mike formed his own band together with saxophonist Bob |
| Berg, who also had been playing with Miles Davis, drummer Dennis |
| Chambers and bassist Lincoln Goines. This band was the definite |
| breakthrough for both Mike and Bob. |
| |
| Except for a tour with the Brecker Brothers Reunion Band in 1994, |
| Mike's playing a lot with his own band both in Europe and the |
| States. |
| |
| This is very much an acoustic album, more in the spirit of |
| Standards (and other Songs) than any of his previous albums. And |
| as far as I'm concerned it's his best album to date. |
| Mike refrained from using any distortion on this album (except on |
| the Hendrix-tune), which makes the album sound less "rockish" than |
| all of the previous ones, quite refreshing. |
| Though Mike's technical and improvisatory skills are clearly |
| present, the album shows how much Mike has grown as an artist. |
