Dave Weckl – Master Plan

Eberhard Weber – The Following Morning 

The Following Morning is an album by German double bassist and composer Eberhard Weber, recorded in August 1976 and released on ECM later that same year. Weber is backed by pianist Rainer Brüninghaus and members of the Oslo Philharmonic.

John Patitucci – Spirit Fall 

Spirit Fall marks bassist/composer John Patitucci‘s debut leader album for Edition Records. His sidemen are saxophonist Chris Potter and drummer Brian Blade. The drummer and Patitucci were members of the Wayne Shorter Quartet, and the late saxophonist/composer was a tremendous influence on Potter. Nine of the set’s ten tracks were composed by the bassist, and he includes a cover of Shorter’s “House of Jade.” Spirit Fall is a deeply personal project for Patitucci, reflecting his commitment to music that has the power to uplift and often bridge societal and cultural divides. Patitucci desires connecting with family and friends naturally, but also, and especially, people on the margins. The album draws inspiration from the rich tradition of New York saxophone trio music, reflecting the influence of Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson, and Joe Lovano’s Trio Fascination (Thom Jurek/AllMusic).
