BU will host its 15th Annual Jazz Festival Friday, April 4. As part of the festival public concerts will be given at 11 am by the BU Jazz Band and special guests The Dave Stryker Trio will perform at noon with a clinic immediately following at 1:00 p.m. Admission is free.
Guitarist Dave Stryker has fronted his own group (with 23 CD’s as a leader to date), and been a featured sideman with Stanley Turrentine, Jack McDuff, and many others. 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 for the last 5 years in the Downbeat Critics Poll. His approach combining the jazz burn to a soulful blues feeling is communicating to new fans wherever he plays. His most recent CD “Blue Strike” has made many Best of 2011 lists including WBGO Jazz Radio and Tom Reney/New England Public Radio.
