Convergence (download)

$15.50

Convergence is a recent project from Dave Weckl and Jay Oliver. Jay was a major creative force behind Dave's first three solo releases and two Dave Weckl Band records (Rhythm of the Soul and Synergy).

Convergence reunites these longtime musical counterparts with 10 new songs. Highlights of the album include a remake of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground," a nod to 1990's "Master Plan" which featured two drummers. This time, it's Dave, the incredible Chris Coleman, a first-call horn section, three gospel singers, and legendary players including Dean Brown (guitar) and Jimmy Johnson (bass).

Convergence also features a collaboration with Bill Whelan (Riverdance) that was partially recorded in Ireland, a saucy New Orleans-insprired tune, two jazz tunes, two "fusion" tunes, and two solo pieces (drums and keys).

Additionally, play along versions of each song are available in the Instructional section of the store, along with a full-length movie on the making of this album, which is available in the Solo Projects section.
