Movie Reviews of Mike Stern Band: New Morning - The Paris Concert
Movie Review: a great live Mike Stern video
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me just start with some background. I've listened to and loved Stern's playing since the late 80's. I have seen Mike live numerous times here in Los Angeles ( 8 times). Mike is one of the great jazz fusion live acts. My greatest recommendation is that you get to hear the true SOUND of JAZZ when you hear Mike live. This said, this DVD is no exception. Stellar sound, playing, improvisation, solos are all part of any Mike Stern show and this is no exception either. I will make one minor complaint though, while I have always enjoyed any group that Mike tours with, and have always enjoyed Dave Weckl, I will say that this isn't my favorite Dave Weckl performance. He seems a bit full of himself, a bit over the top, and generally too much of the same stuff on each tune. Dave is a great drummer/percussionist and technician, however he seems more the technician on this outting, and in my opinion, would have been better served with a less is more mentality. Too much long winded soloing, that at times seemed to have little to do with the arrangements kind of drug things out, and frankly, bored me. Usually when I've seen Mike live he used drummer Dennis Chambers, who I must say is always musical, amazing and seemingly quite humble. In spite of this complaint of mine, this is an extraordinary live show, the playing of Mike, Bob Franceschini, and Tom Kennedy are all the stuff of legend. Dave Weckl's playing on the songs is clean, crisp, and tasteful, just too many long, technical solos for me. If you have never seen Mike live, or never heard Mike Stern, you really need to check this out. This shows why he is a 30 year legend among guitarists and jazz/fusion afficianados. This CD has a great vibe with the Paris crowd, great songs, great sound, great photography, lots of useful close ups during solos, awesome soloing, everything that makes a Mike Stern show a must see event for any music or jazz lover.
