Stryker/Slagle Band Biography
On their latest recording “Routes” guitarist Dave Stryker and saxophonist Steve Slagle explore the routes they’ve travelled and the musical roots they’ve explored in their creative collaboration of several decades with a new expanded band featuring four-horn arrangements by Steve Slagle for French Horn, Tuba/Trombone and Tenor Sax/Bass Clarinet.
The Stryker / Slagle Band released five CD’s including “Keeper” which The Village Voice wrote: “Postbop journeymen pull a minor masterpiece out of decades of earnest toil… A-”, and “The Scene” which was voted one of the Top Ten CD’s of 2008 by Downbeat Magazine, Jazz Times Magazine, Jazz Improv Magazine, National Public Radio, Newark Star Ledger, and WBGO. Downbeat gave it 4 Stars calling it “A superior snapshot of the contemporary center of jazz”. The group’s ZOHO recording “Live At The Jazz Standard” received 4 Stars in Downbeat Magazine, and “Latest Outlook” was voted one of the Top Ten CD’s of 2007 by JazzTimes Magazine, The Star Ledger, and Jazz Improv Magazine….

Dave,
I have Thursday 15 August open at The Hamilton Live. That routes great with NYC. Are you interested in a DC play while you’re enjoying the chart success?

Hi Dave,
I had the play with you at week 1 of the Jamey Aebersold Jazz Workshop. I mentioned I would send recommendations for a proposed album with strings you might do…..
Disclaimer…..I am a lover of melody in tunes that didn’t get the ‘pub’ that maybe it deserved.
It is in that spirit that I recommend the following:
‘Airport Love Theme’ aka ‘Winds of Chance’ written by Alfred Newman
‘Hilly’s Theme’ written by Henry Mancini for the movie ‘Silver Streak’
‘And We Were Lovers’ written by Jerry Goldsmith for the movie ” The Sand Pebbles
and finally
‘His Eyes, Her Eyes’ written by Michel Legrand for the first “Thomas Crown Affair” movie.
If you use any of these….send the check to my wife…..:)
Hope it helps.
Enjoyed meeting you and playing.
Best,
Doug
Fishers, IN
