| Dave Stryker Quartet Bday gig at Trumpets this Sat Mar 31 Dave Stryker Quartet Birthday Gig with Steve Nelson Saturday, March 31st 8:00pm/10:00pm Dave Stryker guitar Steve Nelson vibes Jared Gold organ McClenty Hunter drums Trumpets 6 Depot Square (at the corner of Walnut Street) Montclair, NJ (973) 744-2600 New CD Strykin' Ahead 4 Stars Downbeat Nov. 2017 "....Overall, the album casts a warm, clear glow, with plenty of cohesive interplay between Stryker, organist Jared Gold, drummer McClenty Hunter, and vibraphonist Steve Nelson. While influenced by many guitarists, Stryker remains true to his own vision. Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell may be touchstones, but Stryker forges his own sound throughout." - Martin Kasdan (Strikezone 8815) Street Date: September 1, 2017 Dave Stryker Strykin' Ahead shem.gif Sat.

It becomes like anything you're good at; you want to do it as often as possible but occasionally vary the context to keep it from getting stale. Steven Cerra Jazz Profiles A real burner of a set, it feels like an artifact from the past, unreleased from Bluenote/Verve, but it's modern, contemporary touches are well evident showing how a cat that's been hitting all the right notes for all these years can't make a false step now. - CHRIS SPECTOR, Midwest Record Editor and Publisher I give Dave and his talented crew a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, with an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.99 for this one and keep in mind that you heard it here first this one is BOUND for the awards. - Dick Metcalf Improvijazzation Nation write your comments about the article :: © 2018 Jazz News :: home page |
