Number 59 December 8, 2010

Mike Stern brought a true super group to Yoshi's SF last weekend:  Dennis Chambers on drums, Anthony Jackson, on bass, and Randy Brecker on trumpet.  They have all played together in various permutations many times over the years.  And in keeping with my ideas of direct transmission, Mike played with Miles in his comeback band in the early 80's.  Dennis has played with John McLaughlin, and now plays with Santana.
Benny Rietveld, who is a dear freind and produced my record Come To Me, played with Miles for about 10 years, and has been with Carlos since Miles' passing.  The music was fresh and wild and inspirational!
