Mike Stern - Upside Downside (Fusion Best Collection 1000)

Considerando Neesh, editado sólo en Japón en 1985, Upside Downside es el segundo álbum del guitarrista Mike Stern (Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, Blood Sweet and Tears, Steps Ahead, Brecker Brothers), donde demuestra sus encendidas dotes como improvisador (escuchar el solo en Scuffle), enseñando las armas incluso en las bonitas, aunque un poco cursis, baladas Goodbye Again y After You.
También lucen, entre los acompañantes, los saxofonistas Bob Berg (tenor) y David Sanborn (alto en Goodbye Again).****
