The SNJO Presents Mike Stern
Gardyne Theatre, Dundee February 27
The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra (SNJO) kicks off a new year of electrifying jazz with guitar legend Mike Stern.
The famously eclectic musician and Scotland’s ground-breaking SNJO combine to deliver a fascinating and highlycharged programme of guitar-driven orchestral jazz.
Stern is one of the world’s top guitarists and is widely respected for his originality and flair.
He is also one of the few contemporary electric guitar players in the world today who are able to bring rock eclecticism, authentic blues feeling and elegant funk into perfect alignment with innovative ideas about jazz.
Grammy-nominated Stern is held in high regard for his lightning speed, blistering fretwork and an unswerving commitment to sonic creativity. He is also a noted composer, who has consistently applied his gift for melodic virtuosity to sophisticated ballads and contemporary jazz.
