Should you want to check out a guy that has a more trditional and modern jazz technique, try any album with Dave Weckl. He has at least one solo effort that is reflective of his tremendous talent.
If I were to recommend one Weckl CD it would be his debut..."Masterplan". It's got
the best song writing on it plus great support from Anthony Jackson on bass, Frank
Gambale on guitar and Chick Corea. I found his subsequent ones to be stale and
repetitive with the exception of a live double CD that came out in 2003 that's pretty
good as well.

I think Weckl's best work is on a Steve Khan(guitarist) CD titled "Public Access".
