Mark Zeger Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 In December, he's playing in New York City with Victor Wooten and Dave Weckl. What a trio of lightweights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Have fun, Nohad! Mike Stern is one of my favorites. His intensity is unmatched. He usually has Lincoln Goines playing with him, whoever he has is going to have to be pretty good to keep up with him. I've seen him many times from large concert halls to crowds of 25 at the NAMM show and he's always ON. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KikkyMonk Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 off topic but slighty not so.. I want to start watching more bands and people.. where do you find info on people playing and such? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g. Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Seattle had a number of good genre-driven newspapers that were available free all over the place, as well as what was in the newspaper. Montana has a paper called the Lively Times that comes out every month and has just about every venue and gig in the state listed. Anything that isn't listed is because the club owners or local bands are too lazy and can depend on getting paid either way because they are at a local watering hole. Then there are the local newspapers' entertainment weeklies again... I'd say the internet should be helpful here too. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockwoodB Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I saw him with Lincoln at Music Tech about 4 months ago. It was superb. "Let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine." --Henry David Thoreau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g. Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Mike Stern with Steve Smith's VITAL INFORMATION is still one of my favorite non-schlockpop fusion albums {I have no faves in the elevator fusion category ; } . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Malone Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Earlier this year I caught Mike Stern at Yoshi's in Oakland. He had Victor Wooten on bass and Dennis Chambers on Drums plus a sax player (forgetting his name at the moment and don't have time to do the search here, I posted about it at the time). Great show! Wally I have basses to play, places to be and good music to make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
music-man Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Saw Lincoln Goines with Wayne Krantz this past Thursday at the 55 Bar (where Mike Stern plays pretty much every week) in NYC. Such a great show. Lincoln is really great - I always come back to him as the "thinking man's" groover. The suprise to me of that gig was that, as much as I love Mike Stern's playing, I was really blown away by Wayne Krantz - chops galore, but his solos are really harmonically interesting and well-supported; and he played some really nuanced melody and phrasing ...

BenLoy Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Music-man, tell me you weren't blown away by the drummer in Krantz's band. I forget his name, but MAN, what a groove. He was like this crazy, bonham-meets-tony williams-meets-I-don't-know-what nutjob! I caught him at 55 a couple months ago (with Lincoln on bass) and he was just incredible... Paul Schaffer showed up and just stared open mouthed at the drummer for the whole set, shaking his head back and forth to the time. Then Lew Soloff dropped in and blew some STUFF!!! Everyone in NYC should see this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
music-man Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Drummer was Zack Danziger. Yes indeed. He was playing rock-solid, cool rhythm grooves, but then throwing in these crazy, super-loose spasms that seemed totally out of tempo ... until they came right back around on the beat. Really great. BenLoy - I'll probably be there Thursday night to see Wayne, even though it's not the same band ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLoy Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 He's a young guy, right? With spiked, blond hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
