		Stern's lead voice is one of the most distinctive in the genre as well, as his chorused and sometimes distorted tone is always prominently displayed.
		Stern is joined on this 1996 offering by frequent collaborator Bob Malach, a tenor player with a particular talent for laying screaming lines on top of smoking drum grooves as well as ably doubling and bringing to life Stern's often bookish and theoretical melodies.
		Like many of Stern's recordings, the problems lie generally in the sameness of the arrangements and the relatively forgettable nature of some of these songs.

	George Graham Reviews Mike Stern's "These Times"
		Guitarist Mike Stern, who turned 50 last year, took up the guitar at age 12, and was inspired by blues and rock players like B.B. King and Eric Clapton.
		Stern plays his usual electric guitar with his own distinctive sound that is easy to recognize even after just a few notes, and he employs the guest musicians well, with each track having a somewhat different sound to take advantage of the available players.
		Stern and company get jazzier in a piece that pays tribute to Stern's long-time friend saxophonist Bob Berg, who was killed in a car accident in a snowstorm in late 2002, not long before this CD was recorded early last year.

		It's not been easy for fusion guitarist Mike Stern to shake the protean shadow of his former mentor and employer, Miles Davis.
		Stern would go on to work with, at various points, Michael and Randy Brecker, and Harvie Swartz; he also recorded with saxophonist Bob Berg.
		The album, Stern's third as a leader, isn't bad, though; when he's not trying to get down, Stern demonstrates why some fusion enthusiasts still consider him a top-level guitarist.

		A little history: Mike Stern was the controversial guitarist that accompanied Miles Davis on Saturday Night Live in 1981 as he made his historic and unexpected return to the world stage and studio after a seven year hiatus; both taking critial heat for the music's rock edge.
