MIKE STERNS SELECTED TRACK COMMENTS
"Stuff Happens"
"It's definitely got a Blues vibe and it opens with a short but really wonderful solo from Christian McBride. He is definitely not only one of the greatest acoustic bass players ever, but he plays amazing electric bass. Of course, I knew that going into this project so I asked him to play a lot of electric bass and he did that so beautifully on this tune. He played great on everything."
"Gospel Song"
"Gospel Song" is a ballad. It has kind of a gospel vibe so I just stuck with the working title and it seems to fit the song. I really like the way this came out and Christian McBride sounds great on Acoustic Bass. And Jim Beard played beautiful piano."
"Where's Leo?"
"Where's Leo?" has kind of a Spanish vibe. It's got a lot of energy and is played beautifully by the whole band. Antonio Sanchez and Christian McBride sound great on this and Chris Potter plays another great solo."
