Listening Room – “The Scene”
Guitarist Dave Stryker and saxophonist Steve Slagle have been playing together in various settings for over twenty years and "The Scene" is their third album release under the moniker "The Stryker/Slagle Band". The quartet is rounded out by the great Jay Anderson on bass and Victor Lewis doing his thing on the drums. The group adds special guest Joe Lovano on a couple of tracks, although my favorites on the record are when the quartet is clicking on all cylinders as on the Stryker penned title track and the Slagle original Two Sense. The album was released in 2008 on the NYC based Zoho Records, a label whose releases are always recommended and worth checking out.
Released 2008 : Zoho Records : Catalog #200810

Dave Stryker - Guitar
