What happened was Joe Pass had put out an album called The Stones Jazz where he did all Rolling Stones songs. Then when I was about 15, I noticed that I was starting to get interested in jazz guitarists. Stuermer has also been on every Genesis tour going back to 1978 besides the short-lived 1998 tour with replacement vocalist Ray Wilson.
To this day, Collins has never played a solo concert without Stuermer by his side and he’s been a key part of every single album besides 1994’s Both Sides. Little could he have imagined that not only would he join the band just four years later, but the young drummer in the background - a complete unknown named Phil Collins - would become one of the biggest music acts of the next decade and that he’d bring the guitarist along for the ride.
“When I saw that I thought, ‘Oh, that’s not my kind of thing. “Peter was wearing a flower on his head,” says Stuermer. Stuermer had never heard of Genesis and the brief video segment showing their performance of “Supper’s Ready” did little to win him over. On June 23rd, 1974, 21-year-old jazz-fusion guitarist Daryl Stuermer was watching the short-lived talk show Speakeasy when the guests for the evening included Beach Boys singer Mike Love, English guitarist John McLaughlin, jazz flutist Charles Lloyd and Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel.
