O’s Notes: Strykin’ Ahead“is Dave’s follow-up to“Eight-Track II“again incorporating vibraphonist Steve Nelson with his organ trio including McClenty Hunter (d) and Jared Gold (organ). This is Stryker’s 28th album as a leader and we continue to be impressed with the variety of different approaches and polished execution. This program combines freshly arranged classics like “Footprints” and “Donna Lee” with originals like “Blues Down Deep” and the fleeting title track.
