Well-Traveled 'Routes' by The Stryker/Slagle Band Expanded Proves Worth the Trip (REVIEW)
Guitarist Dave Stryker and saxophonist Steve Slagle have been playing together since 1986. In 2003, they finally released their self-titled Stryker/Slagle Band debut and have stayed as a quartet ever since...until now. On 'Routes' (Strikezone Records), the quartet doubles to an octet awkwardly called The Stryker/Slagle Band Expanded on a travelogue of their favorite locales.
