Apparently, a little lockdown can be a useful thing.

Guitarist Dave Stryker has released Prime—the first recording featuring his working trio. Along with Jared Gold on organ and McClenty Hunter on drums, Stryker offers eight new compositions and the mesmerizing standard “I Should Care.” From the inspiring title track “Prime,” to songs penned for his first boss, Jack McDuff (“Captain Jack”and “Dude’s Lounge”), as well as “Mac” for his drummer (and trio versions of “Hope” and “As We Were”) from Stryker’s last album, Prime grooves from start to finish.
