review
One interesting fact about the Dave Weckl Band's Rhythm of the Soul is that it will soon be available in five different music-minus-one play-along formats: one each for drummers, keyboardists, bassists, guitarists and saxophonists. So if you want to strike a monster groove like the Davemeister himself, now's your chance.
Rhythm of the Soul is muscular keyboard-based funk (featuring the tickled plastics of Jay Oliver) that no doubt will inspire hordes of aspiring funksters to plug in and play along in the garage. Bob Malach is along on tenor sax, soloing gamely in a neo-Arnett Cobb mode and pitching in on the unison theme statements. This is drummer Weckl's chance to show off the chops he used to power Robert Plant into the stratosphere, and he takes full advantage of it.
The Wecklers kick things off here with the chunky "The Zone," where Oliver gurgles and keens, and Frank Gambale rebukes and exhorts on guitar. It's a booty-shaking opener, but the bluesy "101 Shuffle" takes us even higher. Kudos here to Buzz Feiten on guitar, who, well, has earned his nickname for playing guitar, not for a haircut or an artificially-induced sunny disposition.
On "Mud Sauce" Weckl lays down a serpentine line, tastily taken up by Steve Tavaglione on soprano sax and then Buzz and the gang: Oliver and Tom Kennedy on acoustic bass. (Kennedy also plays acoustic bass on "Song for Claire," a sweetly nasty number for Weckl's baby daughter.) The groove is inventive and a mile wide, and once again Buzz shines for artful deployment of his wah-wah.
"Designer Stubble" sounds something like "Rock and Roll Hootchie-Coo," or another one of those thick Seventies rock grooves. Buzz, Buzz, we hardly know ye. Our favorite guitar savage leaves the scene for "Someone's Watching," a cloudy synthesizer thing (thanks to Oliver on keyboard) where Tavaglione chips in with some Kenny G-laden but effective soprano. "Transition Jam" is a vehicle for Kennedy: fluent funky electric bass lines at 60 mph. On "Rhythm Dance" Mr. Kennedy lays down a nice ostinato in a Stevie Wonder mode. He's earned his stripes. To round things out, "Big B Little B" is a playful, calm feature for Oliver. Then comes "Good Night," which takes the Band out the funky way it came in.
These guys must have been listening to AM radio at the same time I was – but they were listening harder. Weckl and Co. are good at what they do.

bio
Dave Weckl (born January 8, 1960) is a highly acclaimed jazz fusion drummer. Weckl attended Francis Howell High School in St. Charles, MO and graduated in 1978. He majored in jazz studies at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. Starting out on the New York fusion scene in the early 1980s, Weckl soon found himself working with artists such as Paul Simon, Madonna, George Benson, Michel Camilo and Anthony Jackson. His most famous early work though, where his popularity blossomed, was with the Chick Corea Elektric Band from 1985 to 1991.
Weckl spent a total of seven years with Corea, during which he performed on numerous albums and also appeared with Corea's Akoustic Band.[1][2] He augmented his work with Corea by continuing his session work and appearing often with the GRP All-Star Big Band. In addition, he recorded four albums in 1988 and 1989 with the Manhattan Jazz Quintet. Weckl has also released a series of instructional videotapes, and in 1990, he led his first solo date, Master Plan, for GRP. Heads Up followed in 1992, as well as Hard-Wired in 1994.[2]
After leaving Corea, Weckl's recorded and toured with guitarist Mike Stern.[3] Under his own name, he has been the leader of ten recordings since 1990, seven of which as the Dave Weckl Band. Dave endorses Yamaha Drums, Sabian Cymbals and Vic Firth Drumsticks, all of whom he has assisted with the design of new products, such as Sabian's HHX Evolution and HHX Legacy cymbal lines.
Around 1996, his style and setup radically changed, in large part because of his studies with Freddie Gruber. |
