Mike Stern Band - Kate - Live @ Blue Note Milano
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE STERN
JANUARY 10, 1953
A TRIBUTE TO THE INVENTIVE GUITARIST
Guitarist Mike Stern was born on January 10, 1953 in Boston, Massachusetts.
He started on piano before taking up the guitar when he was 12, listening to blues, rock and soul in Washington D.C. before discovering jazz when he was 18.
Stern studied at the Berklee College of Music, leaving when he was 22 to join Blood, Sweat and Tears.
He was a member of Billy Cobham’s band during 1979-80 and gained fame with Miles Davis during 1981-83, followed by a stint with Jaco Pastorius’ Word Of Mouth band (1983-85), a second period with Davis, and work with David Sanborn, Michael Brecker, and Steps Ahead.
Primarily a bandleader since the late 1980s (not counting work with the Brecker Brothers in 1992 and the Yellowjackets during 2007-08), Stern has performed both rock-oriented jazz and a more straight ahead variety through the years with his own groups while featuring his own personal and colorful style.
He is featured performing “Kate” with his own quartet.
Personnel:
Mike Stern, guitar
Randy Brecker, trumpet
Janek Gwizdala, bass
Steve Smith, drums

...
For we only know very little
About the moment
That will follow the moment we are living right now
And as we listen to good advice
We miss out on lessons of our life
...
They say that you’re not good for me
I say the only way to find out is to let it be
So I’ll go for the thrill of uncertainty
I’ll take it patiently
Why isn’t this more popular? It’s so good! And was started with Kickstarter!

QUARTET is the new album from Grammy-winning saxophonist Bob Reynolds featuring his working band Ruslan Sirota (piano/keys), Janek Gwizdala (bass), and Chaun Dupre' Horton (drums). Signed copies available here ► https://ift.tt/2w4mHfS -------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Reynolds is a Grammy Award-winning tenor saxophonist known for his work with Snarky Puppy, John Mayer, and 8 solo albums. He is a D'Addario Woodwinds artist. LONGER BIO Saxophonist Bob Reynolds is an in-demand jazz performer, educator, and sideman, as well as a regular member of the Grammy Award-winning band Snarky Puppy. Born in Morristown, New Jersey in 1977, Reynolds grew up in Jacksonville, Florida, where he first started playing saxophone at age 13. Although he listened to a range of music as a kid, by his late teens he was a dedicated jazz student. After high school he honed his skills at Boston's Berklee College of Music, where he mentored with George Garzone, Hal Crook, and others. As a leader, he debuted with 2000's The Bob Reynolds Quartet, followed by 2006's Can't Wait for Perfect. That same year, he joined fellow Berklee alum John Mayer's band and spent the next five years with the pop star, touring and appearing on such albums as 2008's Where the Light Is and 2009's Battle Studies. In 2013, he returned to his solo work with Somewhere in Between, which reached number one on digital jazz charts. He then made his Snarky Puppy debut appearing on the genre-bending group's 2014 effort, We Like It Here. Two years later he was back with Snarky Puppy for the Grammy Award-winning Culcha Vulcha. In 2017, Reynolds delivered the EP Guitar Band, which featured appearances from Kneebody bassist Kaveh Rastegar as well as fellow Snarky Puppy members Robert "Sput" Searight (drums) and Mark Lettieri (guitar). ~ Matt Collar by Bob Reynolds

People of Tumblr, do not despair. For I come with great news! Do you feel the ache in your loins at the first sound of a sexy harmonica solo? Of course you do! This is why I invite you to listen, to what can only be described as a man making nothing more than sweet, hyperventilated love.
A sound that is sure to blow gaping holes in anyone’s metal box!
For an experience of a lifetime (with ALL the trimmings) 0:00
For those who’s time is limited... 2:34
