By Denny Dyroff, Entertainment Editor, The Times
Mike Stern
Back in 2016, legendary jazz guitarist Mike Stern experienced a bad trip. But, it had nothing to do with a scary travel experience or a hallucinogenic mis-step.

Labor Day, 2018, is behind us and although we still have two weeks remaining of the summer, our...
