Catching one person will always be enough for me', Mike replied - even if it's now by the thousands, night after night, that he mesmerizes his audiences worldwide. What a revelation, after his brilliant romps with Bob Berg, the Brecker Brothers, Jaco Pastorius, Joe Henderson and so many others, to find 6 time Grammy nominee Stern side by side with super bassist-singer Richard Bona at the New Morning in 2004

Mike Stern is certainly one of the best electric guitarists of his generation. This has never been more obvious than in the extraordinary concert the 4 time Grammy nominee gave in the springtime of 2008 to a mesmerized New Morning audience. At the peak of his inspiration, improvising past all musical genres, Mike - superbly backed this time by brilliant drummer Dave Weckl, soulful tenor saxophonist Bob Franceschini and incredible bassist Tom Kennedy - takes his fans along into a journey of pure musical delight. Not a surprise that Mike concluded the evening by confiding, ""I don't want to stop! They'll probably have to wheel me off the stage"".
