Daryl
Stuermer was self-taught on guitar and as a teen he was drawn to the
complexities & challenges of jazz guitar; fusion artists such as Larry
Coryell and John McLaughlin became major influences. In 1975, George
Duke recommended Stuermer to Jean-Luc Ponty who was on the look out
for a guitarist. Daryl won the audition and at age 22, he accompanied
Ponty on a world tour. He ended up recording four albums with the acclaimed
jazz violinist before connecting with Mike Rutherford of Genesis in
1977. This began a 20-year association with Genesis that in turn led
to Daryl's selection for Phil Collins' band in 1982.

Whilst
best known for his work with Genesis and The Phil Collins Band, Daryl
Stuermer has also been nurturing a solo career since the late 80s. In
that regard, he has had five releases under his own name, with the greatest
activity occurring within the last seven years. Exclusive of the first
album, which was a GRP release, each was issued on Daryl's own Urban
Island Label. Over the course of the 50 or so tracks contained on those
discs, Stuermer has demonstrated his ability to transcend genres. So
now, as the 20th anniversary of his solo debut approaches, we have Nylon
String Sampler, a compilation that reflects many aspects of his diverse
talents and tastes. However, the release falls just short of "best of"
status; although it is an anthology

- Jan. 1st, 2006. In
spite of a solo career that dates all the way back to 1988, Daryl Stuermer
is better known for his work with Genesis & the Phil Collins Band.
Apart from this obvious affiliation to the worlds of pop & rock, Stuermer's
résumé includes touring with legendary jazz-violinist Jean-Luc
Ponty back in the 70s. Indeed, Daryl's own debut & his subsequent
efforts veered toward to fusion. Nevertheless, Stuermer's Another Side
of Genesis released in the year 2000 paid an obvious nod to his longtime
connection with Collins & Genesis. Yet it was Daryl's follow up efforts
that successfully showed another side of Stuermer himself, one that saw
him not only blend many diverse influences from his... continue

Stuermer grew up in Milwaukee Wisconsin
and was self-taught on guitar starting at the age of 11. Early on, he
was influenced by Elvis Presley and The Ventures and then a bit later
by The Beatles. As a teen, he discovered the music of Wes Montgomery
and Joe Pass and was drawn to the complexities & challenges of jazz
guitar. Later still Hendrix, Coryell, and McLaughlin all became major
influences.
During a 1975 tour date, George Duke, who was Frank Zappa's keyboardist
at the time, happened to sit in with Daryl's band Sweetbottom. Soon
after he recommended Stuermer to Jean-Luc Ponty. Daryl won an audition
and at age 22, accompanied Ponty on a world tour. Stuermer ended up
recording four albums in all with the acclaimed jazz violinist before
connecting with Mike Rutherford of Genesis in 1977...read

In
between his work with Genesis and The Phil Collins Band, Stuermer began
writing and working on his own music. He issued his solo debut in 1988
and now has six albums to his credit. Retrofit, released in September
of last year is the most recent of these. I put the record on as soon
as it arrived and in a phrase, I loved it! Stuermer has exceptional
tone, great technique and a superb delivery! There is a nice variety
of music with different tempos and textures, lots of stuff that perfectly
fits our show and I've already slotted the album for a future show case
feature. In any event, I'm getting just a bit ahead of myself as we
still have the FT feature to contend with
