Dave Weckl Band: Synergy
by Ed Kopp
Explosive drummer Dave Weckl leads a talented ensemble that sounds a bit like his old group, the Chick Corea Elektric Band, minus the venerable Mr. Corea.

The Dave Weckl Band: Synergy
by Jack Bowers

So if you want to strike a monster groove like the Davemeister himself, now's your chance. Rhythm of the Soul is muscular ...

1/2 Pop-jazz tributes to adult-contemporary artists usually scare me off, but this one's different. Yes, Rhythm of the Soul is a tribute to drummer Dave Weckl's favorite R&B and pop artists.
