This is a fairly typical
Mike Stern fusion date, featuring his rocking guitar on seven of his pieces.
Stern is joined by his usual sidemen -- tenor saxophonist
Bob Berg, keyboardist
Jim Beard, electric bassist
Jeff Andrews, either
Peter Erskine or
Dennis Chambers on drums and percussionist
Manolo Badrena -- and plays with plenty of fire, yet a good amount of restraint.
Michael Brecker is a guest on "Chief," jamming on his fairly anonymous-sounding EWI. A decent effort, easily recommended to fans of the more adventurous rock guitarists. ~ Scott Yanow
