wrong[edit]

"This album can be described as "jazz-rock", though it is much closer to traditional jazz than the jazz-rock albums of the 1970s. The keyboard sounds on the album are typical for the mid-1980s. The drums played by Dave Weckl dominate the album's sound, with the guitar duties split between Scott Henderson and Carlos Rios."

None of this is true. Fusion is the fusion of jazz and rock, or jazz done with rock instruments and a rock format. This is the prototypical fusion recording that has bits that are perfect combinations of both like "side walk" that is rock sounds yet has a jazz take on a 6/8 time signature. Then "silver temple" is a jazz song yet done with a rock format and there are songs like "got a match" that defy definition with so much of it being done as long soli work with Chicks flair for rhythmic complexity. The drums do NOT dominate the album. Weckl as more the touch of a jazz player than a power rock drummer. This is fine ensemble work where nobody dominates.

It's so wrong it's hard to fix and yet the article needs a paragraph about the music. If I do it I'l delete it all and start over and maybe source a review or two since the last 2 paragraphs are un-sourced. Also, Weckl does not use drum programming on the eclectic band recordings in the sense that the link describes. I know uses effects but the wiki page about "drum progamming" talks abut 2 specific types neither of which apply to Weckl. Jackhammer111 (talk) 08:30, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
