John Stein - Among Friends- guitar, voice, cello (2025) [Official Digital Download]

In 1997, just two years after the versatile guitarist JOHN STEIN launched his extraordinary three-decade career as a recording artist, he invited cellist CHRIS WHITE and vocalist FAY WHITTAKER to his home for a spirited, live session in his living room. Stein borrowed a DAT recorder, mixer, and some mics from Berklee College of Music where he was a professor in the Harmony Department and recorded four guitar/cello/vocal trio pieces and two guitar/cello duets. He later recorded four guitar/vocal duets with Whittaker in his office at Berk lee after hours using the same equipment. For his 20th album, Stein is finally releasing these sessions with a title that captures the trio’s great camaraderie: AMONG FRIENDS. Stein has become one of jazz’s most versatile and acclaimed guitarists, with three decades of recordings in a wide variety of settings, while his cohorts are longtime pals from his early performance days and prominent performers in the Northeast. AMONG FRIENDS gives Stein’s fans special insight into the artist’s early sensibilities and points the way toward the large body of work he has accomplished in his stellar recording career.
