by Jack Bowers
On Messin' with Mister T, guitarist Dave Stryker could have enlisted only his organ trio to salute friend, mentor and musical hero Stanley Turrentine; instead, he chose to step back and let other voices do most of the talking. The encomiums are thus provided by ten of the world's most accomplished tenor saxophonists, making this one ...

Something Smoky and Something Blue
by C. Andrew Hovan
With Vincent Herring's alto providing the clarion call that ushers in the troops for a quicksilver performance entitled “Elation," it became clear that the analog warmth of this particular vinyl release possessed a tangible charm that was undeniable.

Dave Stryker: Eight Track
by Jack Bowers
On Eight Track, New York-based guitarist Dave Stryker's quartet takes the listener back some forty years or so to a time when there actually were eight-track tape players, relics on which Stryker listened to jazz and popular tunes of the day, several of which are reanimated on this tasteful and smoothly swinging album. Some of these ...
Dave Stryker: Eight Track
by C. Michael Bailey
A thoughtfully developed theme or concept for a recording is an underutilized dimension that can add creative depth to a project.
