This album is completely different from all other Mike Stern
albums. This is jazz guitar at its best. No overdrive on this
album. On this album Mike shows that he's a great jazz guitar player
both on the electric and acoustic guitar. Songs which I particular
like are the ballads Like Someone In Love, Source
(beautiful acoustic piece composed by Mike), L Bird (featuring
the great Randy Brecker on trumpet), Peace. Some other
gems are John Coltrane's Moment's Notice and
Thelonius Monk's Straight No Chaser and the Miles
Davis pieces Jean Pierre (almost kicks ass) and
Nardis (featuring Jay Anderson on the acoustic bass.
Brilliant piece). I just realised I quoted almost the complete
album. It is a very good album. I had to get used to
it but now I play it as much as the rest of Mikes work.
