Born in a time of isolation, brought to life by persistence and passion.
Conceived during the pandemic and finally seeing the light of day, Falling From Earth is far more than a standard jazz record, it’s a testament to perseverance, collaboration, and a deep love of craft. What begins as an album built on clever arrangements and engaging compositions quickly reveals itself as something greater: a gathering of remarkable musicians, each leaving their fingerprint on the music. And among them, one voice is instantly recognizable from the very first note of guitar: the luminous, elegant, unmistakable Mike Stern.
