MSUFCU JAZZ ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

Video presentation of jazz guitarist Dave Stryker with MSU Jazz Orchestras

Labeled “one of the most distinctive guitarists to come along in recent years” by Village Voice, composer and jazz guitarist Dave Stryker has more than 25 individual CDs to his name. One of his most prominent stints was being a member of legendary saxophonist Stanley Turrentine’s renowned jazz quintet throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

The Jazz Artist in Residence series is made possible thanks to an endowment from the MSU Federal Credit Union.
