Dave Stryker Prime

Fresh off their summer tour opening for Steely Dan, Stryker releases Prime-the first recording featuring his working trio. Along with Jared Gold on organ and McClenty Hunter on drums, Stryker offers eight new compositions and the beautiful standard "I Should Care." From the burning title track "Prime" to songs penned for his first boss Jack McDuff ("Captain Jack" and "Dude's Lounge") as well as "Mac" for his drummer and the original trio versions of "Hope" and "As We Were" from Stryker's last album As We Are, Prime grooves from start to finish with the precision of a trio that has been road-tested for the last 12 years.
