| Dave Stryker Quartet featuring Warren Wolf Appearing at The Jazz Standard 1/24–1/26 2020 1/24–1/26 Dave Stryker Quartet featuring Warren Wolf Dave Stryker – guitar Warren Wolf – vibraphone Jared Gold – Hammond B3 McClenty Hunter – drums In 2013, Dave Stryker hit on an album concept based on instrumental interpretations of classic r&b and pop tunes from his high school years in Omaha, Nebraska.The album, entitled Eight Track, proved to be a career breakthrough for the guitarist some three decades after his entry into bigtime jazz as a sideman with organist Jack McDuff. The radio and sales reaction to the first Eight Track CD led to two further volumes – and the result, says Stryker, has been "not only fun, but musically rewarding. Playing these classic melodies from the '70s has been a great way to connect with people and bring more people to the music, whether they remember the songs or are just discovering them. I enjoy the challenge of finding my way into these tunes by putting my own stamp on them through the arrangements and playing." "Papa Was A Rolling Stone, " "Pretzel Logic, " "Too High, " "This Guy's In Love With You" – any and all of these indelible songs could be part of the Stryker sets this week, with special guest Warren Wolf on vibes. write your comments about the article :: © 2020 Jazz News :: home page |
