Dave Stryker
Instrument: guitar
Whether you've heard guitarist Dave Stryker fronting his own group (with 19 CD's as a leader to date), or as a featured sideman with Stanley Turpentine, Jack McDuff, and more recently Kevin Mahogany, you know why Gary Giddins in the Village Voice calls him "one of the most distinctive guitarists to come along in recent years." He was voted one of the Top Ten Guitarists in the 2001 Downbeat Readers poll, and a Rising Star in the 2001, 2004, and 2006 Downbeat Critics Poll. His recent CD"Big City" was voted one of the top CD's of 2005 (4 stars) in Downbeat and reached the Top Ten on the Jazzweek radio charts for 13 weeks.
