Dick my friend, I've been hit by Mike Stern.
In Austria, a former colleague and friend pumped in a lot of jazz I like myself while at his house popping many, many, many beers. Chick Corea, Metheny, Ponty, etc. But then we moved into the living room, and he puts Stern's Who let the cats out? to the big stereo. 1 AM in the dark of the night, and the whole house is vibrating. I don't know if it was the beer, the great fun I had with him or other sort of afrodisiac, but Stern's music was the best thing I listened that whole week. The sax, the wild improvisation (later, the album turns a mixture of moody and kickin'), the beats. Sold, I was. Edited by Ricochet - March 12 2009 at 15:12 |

I blow hot and cold over Mike Stern, enjoyed his work with Miles Davis (e.g We Want Miles) considerably, but with 4 or 5 solo albums I get a bit of feeling that some tracks he could play in his sleep. Worth, however, checking out Jens Johannson's Fission for a couple of Stern contributions. There are also a few (ex bootleg) recordings live with shooting-up-companion Jaco Pastorius.

He also came with Jellowjackets in 2008 at the biggest jazz festival there is in my country, but I didn't catch him, the colleague told me he was in tears at the end of the concert (of course, it was the whole of Jellowjackets' merit, not just Stern).

I'm lucky, through a Los Angeles jazz jock I got introduced to Jimmy Haslip, so he sends me most of his albums, plus a lot of albums by bands he produces. So I've seen a flow of Yellowjackets stuff. Personally I like the earlier Yellowjackets with Robbin Ford's bluesier guitar. And unbelievably he sent me a copy of Holdsworth/Pasqua DVD, received the day after I discovered UK prices were outrageous and I couldn't afford (that's luck!)).

No experience in Jellowjackets so far, just peeling Stern's albums at the moment.
Good music so far, liked less only Isotope. |

Mike Stern - yeah, his solo stuff is a mixed bag. he has some amazing tunes though and has influenced such a wide range of guitarists (and rightly so) - including contemporaries like John Scofield, Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny. he's very talented and quite the stylist.
I think my favourite work of his was with Miles and also the Brecker Brothers.
great show so far, btw - Dick !

No - so busy at work have little time to check anything other my own threads and the jazz rock fusion stuff. And I decided I wasted my time trying trigger a good debate of the quality of writing in rock magazines - sometimes not worth the effort or time

I see John Scofield is about to release a blues album? However I wish he would do more recordings with Bugge Wesseltoft

No Umphrey's Mcgee isn't eclectic in my books - indeed I wonder with my conservative take on prog, they are even prog at times. For sure they are a good rock band with a bag of riffs, which allows them to go off at unpredictable tangents during solo breaks in concert to surprise the fans - I'm all for bands who don't stick to the script

It seems difficult to get hold of Riley's albums over here, unless In C (various version) or Rainbow - I see there is at least one other version of Shri Camel Edited by Dick Heath - March 12 2009 at 16:17 |

Hellborg samples sound very nice - I might depart, though, halfway through the "special treat".
And, yeah, I saw more Glass than Riley. I could actually get a 20-CDs boxset of Glass under 100 euros. |
