| Stryker / Slagle Band with Joe Lovano at Dizzy's The guitarist Dave Stryker and the alto saxophonist Steve Slagle have worked together in hard-driving settings since as far back as the mid-1980s. Last year they released an impressive album, “Latest Outlook" (Zoho), featuring the tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, who rejoins them for this quintet engagement. (Through Feb. 10.) At 7:30 and 9:30 p.m., Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, Frederick P. Rose Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, 60th Street and Broadway. Guitarist Dave Stryker and Saxophonist Steve Slagle have been developing their own group sound for over 20 years. “Latest Outlook", their 3rd CD as The Stryker / Slagle Band, follows last year's “Live at the Jazz Standard" (Zoho Music). The latest edition of The SSB includes bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Victor Lewis who have played with Dave and Steve off and on since the beginning. Joining them this week at Dizzy's will be longtime friend - the great saxophonist Joe Lovano who guested on the new CD.
