Mike Stern: Big Neighborhood

by Corey Brown Friday, June 5th, 2009

Jambase has the scoop on Mike Stern’s new album, Big Neighborhood, coming out on August 11, 2009.

Stern’s track record for assembling a great line up of musicians continues with this release, and Big Neighborhood hosts a big lineup:

Bassists: Richard Bona, Esperanza Spalding, Chris Minh Doky and Lincoln Goines

Guitarists: Steve Vai and Eric Johnson

Drummers: Dave Weckl, Terri Lyne Carrington, Cindy Blackman and Lionel Cordew

Stern shares the inspiration for the title: “Music is like a big neighborhood – a place where anything and everything can happen. You can find all kinds of things in a big neighborhood – all kinds of different people, all kinds of different ideas and perspectives, and of course, all kinds of different sounds.”

We can’t wait.
