The Stryker / Slagle Band at the Jazz Bakery Thur-Sun. Dec. 15-18 shows at 8 PM and 9:30 PM 3233 Helms Blvd. / Los Angeles CA 310-271-9039 www.jazzbakery.com Dave Stryker-guitar Steve Slagle-sax Dave Carpenter-bass Gary Novak-drums New CD: The Stryker / Slagle Band “Live at the Jazz Standard" (ZOHO)
“It was apparent in the first few numbers of their opening set Tuesday at the Jazz Bakery that Stryker's guitar work and Slagle's saxophone playing were the products of first-rate jazz talents. Often tossing riffs back and forth and breaking into high-speed unison passages, they were an impressive pair. After more than a decade of working together, their musical communication now reaches beyond empathetic and into symbiotic swinging". Don Heckman-LA Times
“Live at the Jazz Standard is a field report from one of today's most inspired two-man teams." David Adler / JazzTimes 9/05
“The co-leaders, having played together for nearly two decades, have achieved an empathy that results in several passages of remarkable collective improvisation." Will Smith / Downbeat 9/05
Voted a Rising Star Acoustic Jazz Group in the 2004 Downbeat Critics Poll

“The co-leaders, having played together for nearly two decades, have achieved an empathy that results in several passages of remarkable collective improvisation." Will Smith / Downbeat 9/05
Guitarist Dave Stryker has 18 CD's out as a leader and has been a sideman on over 40 others. He got his start with Organist Jack McDuff, before becoming Stanley Turrentine's guitarist for over 13 years. He was recently voted a Rising Star Guitarist in the 2004 Downbeat Critics poll.
Saxophonist Steve Slagle has 10 CD's out as a leader and has been a sideman on many other's having performed with Machito, Charlie Haden, Carla Bley, Joe Lovano, the Mingus Big Band, and many more.
The quartet's precise interplay, honed over a period of ten years and four recordings is as cohesive as it is adventurous. -Mike Joyce, Washington Post
