Jazz
An adept jazz guitarist with a blues-and-soul-influenced sound, Dave Stryker has been a sideman and bandleader for decades. His style eschews the sharp, crystalline lines favored by guitar peers, choosing instead an intriguingly veiled sound, influenced heavily by the organ groups he's so often played in with Jack McDuff, Stanley Turrentine, Jimmy Smith, Lonnie Smith, and Freddie Hubbard, to mention scant few. 1992's Guitar on Top featured Mulgrew Miller on piano. About half of Stryker's discography appears on SteepleChase. His celebrated recordings for the label include 1994's Full Moon, 1996's Blue to the Bone, 2004's Shades Beyond, and 2010's Keystone. Later dates appear on his own Strikezone label. 2020's Blue Soul featured his quartet with Bob Mintzer arranging and conducting the WDR Big Band. 2021's As We Are included jazz and string quartets. 2024's Groove Street also featured a quartet with Mintzer's saxophones a core character in the group's sound.
Dave Stryker has also released music as a member of The Stryker / Slagle Band and Allan Botschinsky Quartet.
