The Stryker/Slagle Band: Latest Outlook

Read "Latest Outlook" reviewed by Nic Jones


The more time passes, the less often truly exceptional documents of the modern mainstream such as this one seem to come along. Guitarist Dave Stryker and alto and soprano sax man Steve Slagle have been working together for some time and there's abundant evidence of that here in their almost symbiotic understanding. Together they make for ...

The Stryker/Slagle Band: Live at the Jazz Standard

Read "Live at the Jazz Standard" reviewed by John Kelman


While they've worked together regularly over the years, guitarist Dave Stryker and saxophonist Steve Slagle have never recorded live together and have only one eponymous recording out under their collaborative Stryker/Slagle Band moniker. When they booked two nights at New York's Jazz Standard earlier this year to test out new material for a planned studio date, ...

That idea has been augmented by the ...

Although they've been playing gigs together for the past twenty years, guitarist Dave Stryker and saxophonist Steve Slagle didn't make it official until just a few seasons ago for their first joint venture. Stryker and Slagle are also members of Trio Mundo, which is currently recording on the same label. This latest effort, recorded earlier this ...

The Stryker/Slagle Band: Live at the Jazz Standard

Read "Live at the Jazz Standard" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


Guitarist Dave Stryker has the superhuman ability to be everywhere at once. In peering back at my recent reviews involving the artist, I find his fine recordings with Trio Mundo, Carnival and Rides Again, and the trio outing Exit 13 with drummer Sylvia Cuenca. But one of the most notable was Stryker's Zoho release with friend ...

Read "The Stryker/Slagle Band" reviewed by Elliott Simon


The Stryker/Slagle Band reveals the secret behind producing a crisp first effort with telepathic communication among all parties. That secret, in this case, is to play together for over fifteen years before recording as co-leaders. It also doesn't hurt to have the same rhythm section, in the persons of drummer Tim Horner and bassist Bill Moring, ...

Dave Stryker and Steve Slagle: The Stryker/Slagle Band

Read "The Stryker/Slagle Band" reviewed by Franz A. Matzner


Dave Stryker (guitar) and Steve Slagle (alto, soprano sax) have a long standing musical relationship, and this “debut” album is far from the first time these veteran sidemen have recorded together in the studio. Nor is the rhythm section of Tim Horner (drums) and Bill Morning (bass) a new addition. All these musicians have not only ...
