Dave Stryker Trio w/Bob Mintzer - Groove Street

[mjzee]

Release date January 12:

In the summer of 2023, the Dave Stryker Trio joined forces with tenor saxophone legend Bob Mintzer to record an album of new music prior to playing a week at Birdland in NYC. Stryker and Mintzer had been friends for many years and Bob arranged and conducted an album of Dave’s music for the album Blue Soul with the WDR Big Band in Cologne, Germany. Although Bob had guested with the trio on a few tours, they had never played THIS music together before arriving at the studio. The magic and energy that was captured speaks to the beauty of jazz and the height of communication among first-class players exploring new music for the first time. Subsequently, most of the songs were captured in one take. Track Listing: 1. Groove Street 2. Overlap 3. Summit 4. Infant Eyes 5. Soulstice 6. Cold Duck Time 7. Code Blue 8. The More I See You 9. Straight Ahead
