"The death of keyboardist Jim Beard at the age of 63 in March this year left many in deep shock, such was his continuous presence in the highest echelons of jazz as both player and producer with everyone from Steely Dan, to John McLaughlin and Wayne Shorter. He appears here as both player and producer on this effusive latest set from another indefatigable jazz fusion figure, Mike Stern. No stranger to adversity himself, Stern has made an emphatic comeback from a near career-ending fall in 2017 that broke both his arms, and if anything "Echoes And Other Songs" is something of a late-career high for the eternally energetic six-stringer, who’s now 71 years young. Joined by one of his hardest hitting bands in recent years – the ubiquitous Chris Potter firing from the off, McBride and Sanchez the perfect simpatico rhythm section, there’s a suitably uplifting vibe permeating these sessions, with everyone sounding overjoyed to be backing up their guitar hero Mr Stern."

"What a revelation, after his brilliant romps with the Brecker Brothers, Jaco Pastorius, Joe Henderson and so many others, to find three time Grammy nominee Stern side by side with super bassist-singer Richard Bona at the New Morning in 2004. It was written in the stars that Mike's fiery guitar and Richard's singing bass should meet. Supported rhythmically and melodically by legendary drummer Dennis Chambers and brilliant tenor saxophonist Bob Franceschini, the Mike Stern Band brings forth stirring lyricism that will sound irresistible to music lovers everywhere."

"De drummer maakte ooit funk met George Clinton, later vnl. fusion. Deze plaat, met o.a. fusioncracks Scofield en Brecker Bros, bevat beide stijlen, soms naadloos samenkomend. De harde roffelaar doet 't eest aan Buddy Miles denken." (PM, Oor)
"Dean Brown's music defies boundaries to combine Rock, Latin, Jazz, Funk, and Fusion into a joyful, soulful, dynamic and intense groove. He is well known in the global jazz/fusion scene for his powerful virtuosic rhythm guitar work and his passionate melodic soloing. Those who have seen and heard Dean perform are immediately pulled in by the energy he puts into each and every note. Brown's guitar work can be heard on well over 200 recordings which include numerous GRAMMY® nominations and four GRAMMY® Award winners. Since starting to play professionally with his own group at the age of 13, Dean has toured all over the world with his projects and performed and recorded alongside legendary artists. His performances have also included television appearances on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, The Arsenio Hall Show, After New Year's Eve With David Sanborn, The Rosie O'Donell Show, BET, Bravo, and many top television and radio shows throughout the world."

"MacApline stapt van virtuoze Satriani-metal over op jazzrock. In deze lost/vast-groep ook nog o.a. Brian Auger (toetsen). De enthousiast gespeelde en open geproduceerde stukken verwijzen vaak naar de grote 70's-jazzrockgroepen. Aanrader!" (Mark van Schaik, Oor)
