Mike Stern may have the reputation as the nicest most gracious "somebody" I can think of. Have spoken to him twice and literally, what you see in interviews is what you get with him. Amazing human being.
Always so inspiring to listen to your fantastic playing Mike ; and your captivating and haunting version of this classic tune echoed so well with the stunning beauty and tragic life of Gail Russell ..
Beautiful video of the song "Stella By Starlight", and the legendary actress Gail Russell, who inspired Victor Young to compose the serenade that became so popular to Jazz musicians later on. Hard to believe it was 80 years ago "The Uninvited" was released by Paramount Studios, and even harder to believe it will be, on September 21,2024, the 100th Anniversary of the birth of the lovely, but tragic Gail Russell.
Hi Mike, just a little question. I just came by to capture your sound again while I'm doing stuff. .Who draw you the painting of that Asian Woman. I would like to know the artist name. Not even an AI image search was able to return results. Hope you don't mind.
