Dave Stryker is set to play New Tampa Jazz Nights on Saturday, April 25, with an 8 p.m. show at the New Tampa Performing Arts Center in Tampa. (newtampaartscenter.org) The concert is part of a series presented by the New Tampa Performing Arts Center and Tampa Jazz Club at 8550 Hunters Village Road. Ticket listings show student seats at $10 with ID, theater seats at $30, and reserved table seats at $35, with member discounts on the higher-priced options. (tampajazzclub.com) The billed lineup goes beyond a solo set. Tampa Jazz Club says Stryker will be joined by Jack Wilkins on tenor saxophone, Mark Neuenschwander on bass, Per Danielsson on piano, and drummer McClenty Hunter. (tampajazzclub.com) The date lands as the season finale for New Tampa Jazz Nights, according to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s event listing. Hillsborough County’s March calendar announcement also included the April 25 performance among the center’s featured spring events. (cltampa.com) (hcfl.gov) Stryker arrives with a long touring and recording résumé that promoters are using to frame the booking. The New Tampa Performing Arts Center says he has recorded nearly 40 albums and that his last seven reached No. 1 on the JazzWeek Radio chart. (newtampaartscenter.org) That local framing is part of the pitch. Tampa Jazz Club highlights Wilkins as the retired University of South Florida director of jazz studies, while the ensemble also includes faculty-linked players from the University of South Florida and the University of Central Florida. (tampajazzclub.com) The show also surfaced in a broader Tampa Bay week-ahead roundup published by Yahoo Entertainment, which listed it among area events running through Sunday, April 26. That places the concert in a crowded local calendar rather than as a one-off booking. (yahoo.com) For listeners, the practical details are straightforward: doors are tied to a Saturday night jazz bill, prices start at $10, and the performance is scheduled at a county-run venue in New Tampa. The event page and ticketing listings point to the same April 25 start time. (mytbtickets.com) (newtampaartscenter.org)
