Weckl - 'Why Not?'

**Dazzler** · November 21st, 2005, 03:55 PM

Yeah baby!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img] Here's an interesting point (or maybe not?!?!) On Michel Camillo's first album, he uses Dave and Joel Rosenblatt at a time that they were best mates and studied and roomed together.

The result.... they sound exactly the same!! It's ridiculous I defy anyone to put on a track that Joel plays on and not think it's vintage Dave! ....check it out.

Wow! Killer piano chops by Camilo. Love that little reference to St. Thomas in there.

I agree with you totally Dazzler, Dave and Joel do sound amazingly similar on that album.

I didn't know they studied & roomed together though, so thanks for the history lesson!

So, its Cliff Almond playing on that wonderful song "Caribe", on One more once.

I was convinced it was Weckl (although I was more focused on the other musicians).

Been on a Camilo kick lately, what a amazing, empassioned (is that even a word ?) musician.

Yes it's Cliff on Caribe.
"Smitty" Smith also plays great on this album.

Weckl put Cliff on the Camilo gig, like he did with Joel Rosenblath.
I think that I can hear a difference between Dave and Joel, I find that the Joel's drumming is "less clean" than Dave at this area anyway...

All right.

A big thank you to Rockin' Rudy and LDGuy for sharing these files. Please keep them up for several days because I have a dial-up connection. I'm looking forward to listening to these Michel Camilo gems. [img]cool.gif[/img]

Rudy, thanks so much my man for sharing this! An absolute tremendous piece of drumming right here by Mr. Weckl, and Camilo and A-Jax play their asses off as well.

Hey guys you're more than welcome, glad you like. LDGuy, thanks for your mp3, that is a wicked version of the tune! I like cliff almonds approach, and there's a great groove happening right on 6:28, the last 4 bars, it really burns at that point!
