Dave Weckl Acoustic Band at Kuumbwa Jazz Center

About

An inductee into Modern Drummer’s Hall of Fame, Dave Weckl, has recently embarked on his first solo project in over a decade with his new Acoustic Band. Featuring Gary Meek – saxophones, Makoto Ozone – keyboards and Tom Kennedy – bass, this group is filled to the brim with riveting chemistry and vibrant musical conversation. Weckl is a top-call session player, while Kennedy has been an East Coast scene mainstay and Ozone has developed a reputation as one of Japan’s finest pianists. With an unbridled passion for playing, Weckl states his mission as “to inspire as many people as possible to want to play music.”
