A typical UpBeets set may include some redesigned classic rock, pop, and R&B tunes – everything from modern renditions of classic Horace Silver favorites to hard driving Dave Weckl Group charts, popular Tower of Power songs, or even a Jethro Tull tune done as if Dave Brubeck might have helped with the arrangement.
