Stern’s unmistakable voice on the guitar channels the finesse of Jim Hall, the swing of Wes Montgomery, the raw energy of Jimi Hendrix, and the expressive soul of Albert King—yet he always sounds like himself. His work includes more than 20 albums as a band leader and countless collaborations with some of the greatest names in jazz, including Miles Davis, Blood Sweat & Tears, Billy Cobham, Jaco Pastorius, Brecker Brothers, Joe Henderson, David Sanborn, Steps Ahead, the Yellowjackets, and the all-star Four Generations of Miles project.
