Add “Pat Metheny Group” to my suggestions for a small study of fusion guitarists. While you’re at it, include something by Mike Stern (I like “Standards” and “These Times”). What the heck, toss in Joe Satriani’s “Surfing with the Alien” as well. I suggested “Jaco Pastorius,” Stanley Clarke’s “Journey to Love” and Allan Holdsworth’s “The Sixteen Men of Tain” earlier.
I saw Mike Stern in Paris last year at New Morning, a marvelous place to hear jazz in a bustling international neighborhood. He chatted up fans and signed CDs between sets and just seemed to be a really nice guy. Who also happens to have played with Miles Davis.
