Dave Weckl's
recording career as a leader was off to a decent start with Master Plan — not a
fantastic start, but a decent one. The drummer had made a name for himself
playing with Chick Corea's fusion-oriented Elektric Band and his straight-ahead
Akoustic Band, and his admirers greeted this CD with high expectations. But
while Master Plan isn't the mind-blowing gem it could have been, it's a
competent, enjoyable jazz-rock outing. Weckl has talented guests in keyboardist
Jay Oliver, tenor saxman Michael Brecker and Elektric Band colleagues Corea and
Eric Marienthal (soprano and alto sax), and he is in good form on pieces that
range from the funky "Tower of Inspiration" to the Afro-Cuban-influenced
"Festival de Ritmo" and the Brazilian-minded "Auratune." The CD's only hard bop
offering is "Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise," which finds Weckl forming a trio
with pianist Ray Kennedy and bassist Tom Kennedy. Master Plan isn't essential,
but it isn't anything to be ashamed of either. Alex Henderson, Courtesy All
