    I usually focus on drummers, but that bass is too perfect to ignore. He effortless plays that bass like another limb, supporting the section and providing nice grooves, all with a smile. What's more to ask for a bassist.

  • @e-maestro
    @e-maestro Před 5 lety +42

    Dave Weckl embodies so much of not only a drummer but also what a musician should strive for or can be. He plays being aware of what's going on around him, dynamics, technique, flare, control, flow, Master of the Groove, knowing when and where to place a fill or indentation. I have no doubt that other musicians want to play alongside him. He ties all musician's and sounds together. A true backbone to a groove and overall a very humble guy. Not overrated or underrated, just literally no words to describe MR. Weckl and how he approaches his instrument. Thank you for being such an inspiration and good example.

    Dave Weckl is great as always. Steve Weingarts talent is another subject. He is one of the most gifted keyboard players of all time. You may easily feel the soul of Zawinul or Corea from his detailed touchs or solos. He and Weckl totally fits together. Hope they will reunite for a new album.

  • @McYaballow
    @McYaballow Před 5 lety +219

    Dave Weckl has been my favorite drummer since I first heard him live in 2005, and for very good reason. His technique looks so damn natural and efficient that it's almost scary, not to mention his precision is unrivaled amongst even the most elite drummers; every note he plays is right spot-on. His drum solo displays such maturity as well.. the way I see it, exhibitinism has never been his primary goal. For him it's all about building a drumming narrative which supports the piece, and not an opportunity show off complicated nonsense tricks.
    Even though there's no such thing as perfect, I think he is the most complete drummer of all time. It's unfortunate he wasn't able to maintain the same kind of mainstream popularity as some other great drummers of his era.
    While most people reading these comments are familiar with Dave's work with Chick Corea, I would highly recommend Steve Khan's Public Access album from 1990. Most probably haven't even heard of this album but I think it's some of Weckl's finest playing.

    Steve Weingart just might be my favorite jazz fusion composer. Haven't heard such catchy compositional ideas since Weather Report. Too often, jazz musicians write these wonky tunes that do little aside from setting up virtuoso solos.

    • @phillipmovie4086
      @phillipmovie4086 Před rokem +1

      Dude, I’m two years late to this comment but YES! I’ve been trying to figure out why certain jazz fusion artists are so much better than others and I think you hit it right on the head. The solos should serve really catchy hooks and motifs instead of being the focal point of the music.
