Kerry Strayer Septet featuring Gary Foster: Mentor
by AAJ Staff
The Kerry Strayer band is a working group based in Kansas City, led by saxophonist/arranger Strayer, and like any self-respecting jazz musicians from K.C., they swing. The “mentor" referred to by the title is Gary Foster, noted not only for his extensive studio experience in California, but also for bringing a refreshing hint of West Coast ...
The Kerry Strayer Septet: Mentor
by Jack Bowers
It takes years to learn to play jazz as well as Kerry Strayer does, and one always needs a mentor —perhaps several—to help him (or her) reach such a lofty plateau.

Kerry Strayer leads a septet, with Gary Foster in what the liner notes call “the great Kansas City jazz tradition." Inasmuch ...

There have been other small jazz groups named Kansas City 7, but Kerry Strayer’s septet captures all the essentials and wraps them all up in one harmonious package. ...
Kerry Strayer Septet: Mentor
by Dan McClenaghan
This one swings right out of the gate on a cool groove of four horn harmony that gives way to reedman Gary Foster's incisive, clean-toned alto sax solo on “Saturday 10 a.m." A septet effort under the leadership of Kansas City-based baritone sax man Kerry Strayer, Mentor showcases the considerable talents of Foster on alto and ...
