Teaming up with three of Europe’s finest and most sought-after rhythm section jazz musicians, the Walt Weiskopf European Quartet (WWEQ), have attracted world-wide attention with their talents touring the European and Scandinavian jazz circuit since 2017. WWEQ showcases the confluence of the most sought-after and highly-acclaimed contemporary international jazz musicians of our time.
Their most recent album is Harmless Addiction (2023), an eight-track album that includes six original compositions by Weiskopf and is complimented by a beautiful rendition of “The Things We Did Last Summer” (composed by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne) and a swinging version of the bebop classic “Dexterity” (composed by Charlie Parker). Says Jazz Weekly about WWEQ’s second album “Worldwide” (Orenda Records, 2019), “Big toned tenor saxist Walt Weiskopf sounds like a Prestige-era John Coltrane on this hard bopping session."
With 20 critically-acclaimed albums and countless sideman credits, Weiskopf started his career with the Buddy Rich band at the age of 21. In the years since, he has released 20 CDs featuring a stellar cast of the best contemporary jazz musicians including Brad Mehldau, John Pattituci, Joe Magnarelli, Renee Rosnes, Joe Locke, Conrad Herwig, Peter Zak, Billy Drummond, and Peter Washington to name a few. For 17 years, Weiskopf was an active member of the Steely Dan band.
