Long considered the virtuoso of fusion drumming, Chick Corea`s Dave Weckl makes his debut as bandleader on ”Master Plan.” It will be drummers who can best appreciate the ”Weckadiddles” placed everywhere-especially on the title track duet with Steve Gadd, probably the most-copied drummer of all time. And Gadd is handily blown away. From Corea to straight jazz to funk, ”Master Plan” shows every aspect of Weckl`s ability and is laden with today`s superstar players, Anthony Jackson, Michael Brecker and on.
