Saw this cat play with the Yellowjackets and he absolutely tore it up. This is definitely different than what I expected from him, will have to do more research.

Mike Stern is surprisingly deep and thoughtful musician, willingly going to all sorts of experiments and vividly responsive to new trends in modern jazz music. Mike lets his emotions speak through his guitar. He has got the fine style, taste and refinement. His sound amazes an incredible freedom. He's one of those who continue to make juzz music such a fashionable nowadays.

A vague sense of helplessness in this song gives it truth and a lot of beauty.

Stern's moving minor key ballad "If Only" serves as a vehicle for Bona's thoughtful lyrics (sung in his native Douala dialect) about a real life incident that touched him as a boy growing up in Africa. "I wanted Richard to write lyrics for one of the ballads and this is the one he thought he could definitely write for. His lyrics describe how as a boy he was going to go someplace with some friends. As it turned out they all took the van ahead of him so he had to wait and catch another ride. The first van got into an accident and all his friends died. So it's a story about fate and how little control you have in the world. Things happen and there's only so much you can do about it, so you just have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going on through life, and whatever happens happens. It's a very sad but poignant story and, of course, Richard sings it beautifully." :)
