Mike Stern Quintet at the Vermont Jazz Center

Six-time Grammy nominee Mike Stern will perform with Leni Stern (both on guitar), Bob Franceschini (saxophone), Noam Tanzer (bass) and Juan Chiavassa (drums) at the Vermont Jazz Center.

Using the vocabulary of jazz, rock, fusion, funk, New Orleans and African music, Stern’s masterful & grooving command on the guitar conveys a sense of joy that uplifts audiences and astounds fellow musicians.

Mike Stern is a living legend who continues to tour the world at age 71, having played with Blood, Sweat & Tears, Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Billy Cobham, the Brecker Brothers, Eddie Palmieri, Joe Henderson & many more.

Stern was friends with Vermont Jazz Center founder Attila Zoller. In 2015 he appeared on a tribute album dedicated to Zoller called Memories of Attila; he also contributed liner notes for Zoller’s posthumously released final album.
