Bob Berg/Mike Stern: Take What We Can Get


Jazz saxophonist Bob Berg playing with jazz guitarist Mike Stern are two high energy players we'll have to enjoy from what we have. Bob Berg died in a freak auto accident in 2002. Mike Stern is still playing strong but there was something magic about the two of them together. Although there's no mistaking Bob Berg as a strong post-bop jazz sax player, some listeners hear more rock in Mike Stern's approach. Although the heavily chorused, solid-body guitar sound is rock, the lines are jazz--Mike Stern's innovative contribution.
