NEW!! Dave Weckl Singles Project

Dave is currently recording and releasing new solo tunes as an independent artist. His latest song is called "Get To It," and was written by saxophonist Gary Meek.

The track features Tom Kennedy on bass and Paul Pesco on guitar. It was performed by the Dave Weckl Band during their 2006 tour and recorded in May, 2009. It can be purchased in the Dave Weckl Store, along with charts, play along versions, and a a video of Dave performing the song.

Play along versions for keys, sax and guitar have TWO different song mixes. Version one is the mix with your instrument removed. Version two is the same mix, but without ANY pre-recorded solos in BOTH solo sections. This allows you to play your own extended solo no matter what instrument you play!

The 'minus Tenor 1' version has the rest of the sax section playing, so you can play along as if in the section, but with the entire solo section open for the sax. No keyboard solo!

This is the first of several new songs that will be released through 2010, featuring an array of artists and musicians joining Dave to create new music - one song at a time. Each will feature educational components, including play along versions, charts, and more.
