MILLO Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 So, what's your favorite Mike Stern CD and/or tune? I'm looking for a nice, "modern"-sounding fusiony thang. I remember hearing "Lumpy" from 'Give and Take'(?) years ago and liking it a lot. Something along these lines. I'll consider that cd again. By "modern-sounding" I mean "modern" in respect to the whole of jazz history, not necessarily 21st-century sounding. Although I'd love to hear who you guys think would be today's most influential fusion/jazz guitarists for the music of tomorrow. Thanks.

Billster Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I thnk his two recent releases, Voices and These Times have some new directions. A lot of his progressive albums have had a hint of re-hash to them, just another 45 minutes of take-offs on his first album, Upside/Downside{/i]. Standards I think is wonderful too.

Tone Taster Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 His first one Upside Downside has Jaco on the whole thing. Need I say More? Chromazone is on his second release. Pretty sick head If your looking for some killer roots fusion, get wayne Krantz's Long to be loose go to waynekrantz.com and listen to whippersnapper Jimmy Herring and Project Z has some pretty sick stuff as well as his endangered species CD They are my two favorite catz because as outside and technical as they get, they still can play the blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILLO Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Thanks for the suggestions.... Yeah, I want these for my listening, pleasure, for getting more acquainted w/ the genre, and for learning a couple exciting tunes (not necessarily the solos ). I think Chromazone is in fake/real books, right? I'll check it out. "Lumpy" is one I want to learn, but I don't even remember how it goes.

The classic thing is that you can sing every line off the top of your head. Every line, every solo is a hook in itself. All downhill after that. Buy my CD on CD Baby!

Gruupi Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I haven't liked any of the recordings of him I have heard. But I saw him live once and it was a great performance.

I'm actually looking for lyrical solos minor seconds and ninths put in the right places and huge intervals and 'out there' scales, sick licks, "complex" harmonies, and unexpected twists and turns, etc... Not eactly sure where 'roots fusion' fall into this. However your last paragraph tells me I should check it out. I'll check those guys out later on tonight! Thanks for the suggestions!

AlChuck Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 His first one Upside Downside has Jaco on the whole thing. Need I say More? Say no more, just say it accurately. Jaco is on but one tune ("Mood Swings") on Upside Downside. Mark Egan is the bassist on most of the tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone Taster Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 My bad That's what I get for ASSuming However, Mark Egan is a dream bassist as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone Taster Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 The Jigsaw album has some good compositional explorations more so than the soloing While the Standards album is him just straight rippin' through the changes I like the rhythm section grooves with Will Lee and dennis chambers and Ben Peroski on the 1994 album (forgot name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
