"Groove Street" is a testament to Dave Stryker's creative evolution, presenting a rich tapestry of jazz compositions. Featuring the Dave Stryker Trio with the legendary Bob Mintzer as a special guest, the album is a blend of six originals and reimagined classics. Critics hail it as a masterful mix of improvisation and synergy, a "pot set to simmer" with memorable solos and engaging interplay.

Track Highlights:

    The title track "Groove Street" sets the tone with a shuffle beat and an angular melody.
    "Overlap" and "Straight Ahead" by Bob Mintzer showcase engaging improvisations.
    The trio's take on Wayne Shorter's "Infant Eyes" and Eddie Harris' "Cold Duck Time" adds a fresh perspective to these classics.

Critical Acclaim:

Alexa Peters of Downbeat and Dee Dee McNeil have praised "Groove Street" for its swing, the interplay of jazz organ and guitar, and the addition of Mintzer's tenor saxophone. Jonathan Widran of JWVibe highlights the album's intuitive and spontaneous energy, predicting a long-lasting impact on jazz listeners.
