"Mike`s playing the guitar is very exciting for me. I am a drummer and 1 am very fascinated by Dave Weckl`s drumming. The grooves are very good and they combine it with a lot of jazz-elements. I like this record!!! Yours Bernie(15 Years)"
Mike is constantly playing "on fire" wheter on cd or live!

"I own every album Mike did on his own and hopoefully most of the stuff he played on. His commitment to Music is always a priority. This Album features some great tunes and playing/A less busy Weckl creates a perfect cushion for Mike to explode. My favorite tune was "on the Sunnyside". I just got back from a burning show in Boston...Mike along with the band set things on fire. Few words about "Spajazzy" a band he played with on their first cd: the album is great and Mike sound even a little different...Check it out!"

"I'm a drummer and follow David Weckl where'r he goes. So I knew this album would be good from the start. I also find this album to be one of Mike Stern's best ('Is what it is' is another excellent one) - it blends the best of his melodic (mostly minor tendencies) with the occasional leadfoot on the distortion pedal to tread a very interesting jazz/rock line.My only reservation is Mike's solos can get to be a little in sameness - even live at the Continental I was almost otherwise distracted at times wishing he'd get on with it and make a point.Nevertheless excellent jazz/fusion. Highly recommended."
