On every recording guitarist Dave Stryker brings a sense memory of working with "Brother" Jack McDuff, Stanley Turrentine, the WDR Big Band directed by Bob Mintzer in addition to tons of music he heard growing up with that guitar at his side, adding his own groove to what he heard and felt. Dave's trio, with organist Jared Gold and drummer McClenty Hunter, have made countless performances and numerous recordings together—a synergy that just can't be manufactured.
On his new recording, Groove Street, the trio adds the saxophone of Dave's long-time friend Bob Mintzer, to ignite a collection of classics by Eddie Harris, Wayne Shorter and Harry Warren alongside some spirited originals to bring us all to Groove Street.
From Monday, January 1 through Friday, January 5, one cut from the Groove Street album will be featured each morning on the New Day, New Play spotlight on my Daybreak show.
Preview “Cold Duck” from Groove Street, above.
