Mike Stern / Eric Johnson Band!!!

[jzucker]

Probably old hat to you guys but this band kills!!!!

Anyone know the tour dates?

Mike Stern is all over the place. I'm seeing him next week at Birdland in a quartet called "Four Generations of Miles". I know he was just touring on his own CD release too.

No shortage of work for him! Deservedly so.

It was an awesome tour but they are done with that for now; Eric is on the road with Experience Hendrix and Mike is doing the 4 generations of Miles gig.

 

[Matt L]

I did NOT know about this! Very cool pairing.

Is that Sid McGinnis' head on the left?

Stern has expressed massive respect for EJ as a player, but I'm wondering if Eric learned a lot on those gigs about expanding his vocabulary and his approach. He's talked a lot in the past about learning to play through the changes--Stern could certainly show him a thing or two. I'll bet the gigs were fabulous.

Is Mike playing through a pair of twin reverbs?

Mike should take notes on EJ's tone, although this sounded decent.

 

[jzucker]

not crazy about stern's tone but EJ's tone wouldn't work at all for the way stern plays.

 

[TNJ]

Mike is a great player for sure...but his tone has become like nails on a chalkboard to me.

EJ, OTOH, still has IT.
