Recognized as one of the finest electric guitarists of his generation, Mike Stern is well-versed in jazz, fusion, hard rock, and blues. He plays with the finesse and lyricism of Jim Hall, the driving swing of Wes Montgomery, and the turbulent, overdriven attack of Jimi Hendrix. One of the top guitarists in jazz since his breakthrough with Miles Davis’s celebrated comeback band in the early 1980s, Stern has earned the respect of colleagues and critics alike. A guitarist of formidable technique, he continues to awe and inspire six-string aficionados with his seamless blend of bebop facility, scorching rock intensity, and uncommon lyricism. Stern was presented with Guitar Player’s Certified Legend Award in 2012. He was also honored with the Miles Davis Award in 2007 at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. The guitar great has continued to play with peerless authority; his most recent album is 2024’s Echoes and Other Songs.
