Stuff 1976 HQ link: • Stuff - Steve Gadd-Ric... Cornell Dupree (Guitar), Steve Gadd (Drums), Eric Gale (Guitar), Gordon Edwards (Bass), Richard Tee (Organ)
I love the fact that these guys are only standing there playing masterful music, while musicians nowadays only seem to be jumping around in front of a camera. Nice stuff!
One of my all-time favorite bands. Absolutely killer grooves. I wish they made more music than they did. It's a shame a couple of them are gone from us now. Thankfully we have sites like this one to help their music alive.
I totally agree. I always check their album list to see if there's any songs I somehow missed lol. It's Kinda crazy how things have changed since this comment though. nowadays, thankfully, we have apps like spotify that keep this incredible band alive. I have my discover weekly playlist to thank for showing me Stuff. my first introduction was with "How Long Will it Last?" and ever since I first listened to that I've been hooked on Stuff. Now I'm going off on a Eric Gale binge and it feels like i'm discovering new Stuff songs again!
Freakin' hell! Gadzooks alive! I was playin' this Stuff on my local jazz station back in the 70's. Back then I would ambush jazz enthusiasts with this little known band of studio musicians. I had NO idea people still listened to these great grooves! And 73k views! WOOT! Live it up my friends, this was one of the best funk/jazz bands of all time.
Cornell Dupree, we guitarists who followed owe so much, I think perhaps especially to his godly rhythm playing. Was many years until I realized I was so heavily informed by his riffs.
Cornell and Eric hand off to each other like SEALs, nobody saw em coming 👏🏾When I was growing up in the 70's my Dad was a drummer in a band back home. During a summer in 77 or 78, he borrowed a Stuff LP from his nephew, so he could practice some Steve Gadd grooves. Daddy was (is) my hero and he taught me drums when I was six years old, and at that time I was...15 or 16? Anyway, Daddy would be jamming in the basement...he was loving how Steve Gadd was always in the pocket. Dad tried to hip me to "this cat named 'Steve Gadd" but I was too much into my Parliament, Funkadelic, James Brown and other funk so I pay no attention to my Daddy. Shame on me 🤣because when Steely Dan came out with "Aja", it changed my world. I FREAKED OUT over Steve's solo, and would one day get more Stuff albums and music with Bernard Purdie, Rick Marotta. This music is the music of my lifetime and it will NEVER EVER DIE!! I joined the Navy in 1980, served for 23 years and you can just know, ever since then and now, Ive been collecting and gathering up all the music of my lifetime !! Thanks for sharing!
Stuff is a legendary band If think about it! Never really were appreciated in America except the NYC scene... but were huge in Japan and still are at local jazz bars.
one of my favorite music group, where do we put them, jazz, funk, blues, or all of the above, blessed to have seen the play in the city, NYC, OF COURSE, BACK IN 1978.....ALL GREAT MUSICIANS...
That groove will live on for eternity! Gadd laying down the beat and Dupree and Gale along with Mr. Tee backing up like a model airplane with the glue hardened. Beautiful STUFF! ~ John Guchone, Amplius Music
This video brings back so many wonderful nights in NYC back in the 70s! I use to go see Richard Tee when he, along with the other members of Stuff, use to do jam sessions at Mikell's at Columbus Avenue & 97th St. I was living in Park West Village at the time, and Mikell's was my watering whole. It was a great place to have a good time listening to jazz played by the very best artists! It was nothing to run into James Baldwin enjoying the mood and sipping his elixir!
I've been looking for this group to be on TH-cam for years. I have 1 of the 2 albums by Stuff and 3 turntables, but none work! Must go shopping. Love this sound.
got this gig on DVD. what a band is all i can say :) as a musician i aspire to be as good as these if not better. ;) Unbelievable task ahead of me haha. LOVE THIS. LOVE everyone people, music is my religion.

Steve is so flippin' on! The groove is fat! But that's also thanks to Gordon Edwards ... just watch him groovin' in that chair! This is sweeeeeet! I too saw them many times at Mikel's in NYC. Sometimes it would be Chris Parker on drums ... equally as in the pocket as Gadd. Thanks for posting!
ljudi imaju opasan gruv,stiv ged je ziva legenda kao i svi ostali,zivi clanovi benda,ostalima pokoj dusi....tee,gale...hvala za ovaj video!uporedite palice kojima jer stiv svirao tada sa ovima danas!
I love the way Cornell plays the supporting role on rhythm guitar. His in between licks are so sweet and funky. And Gordon on bass is so 'pocket.' Listen to the room he provides for the other cats. Listen to Gadd put the meat with the tatos. Just big fat beats. He's killin it. The bass and drums are the drive of music but Richard Tee's left hand is a sweet compliment to what Gordon is playing. Richard Tee is 'churchin, bro. This is called staying in your lane. Look at Gordon, he knows he got it.
For what it's worth, the name of this tune is not "Groovin'. Although these guys definitely are grooving, this song is from their debut album, and it's called "Foots."
La regia di una volta inquadrava.... random... era una pena per noi cercare di vedere la tecnica di chi suonava. Ma ricordo che questi video li mandava in Italia, per mia fortuna, Tele Milano International all'inizio degli anni 80, se non mi sbaglio, come intervallo tra un programma e un'altro!!!! Ma, con molta nostalgia per gli anni 70, posso dire buona musica e bei tempi? Grande ritmica, grande spirito. Grazie Tom.
You know... I'm playing some odd game on-line... And I have this set on replay, with a few other vids set into the mix. I've been listening to odd ...stuff... all my life. This little band of studio musicians caught me decades ago. Just SIMPLY one of the best jazz-rock-funk bands 'never' seen on this planet. T-shirts sought on E-Bay, by teen-agers who have never heard the music, and albums sought in dust LP shops by old fogey fans that know the joke. And in the end... It's just STUFF!!
@midiman51 ...I agree with you, it should be a compliment... some of my favorite drummers are Al Foster, Tony Williams, and Carlton Barrett (I'm a huge Miles Davis and Bob Marley fan, what can I say....), and those guys have a groove that most white drummers simply don't have. Not to take anything away from Mitch Mitchell, but there's a huge groove difference between "The Experience" and "Band of Gypsys". Gadd had it, simple as that. Yeah..... RIP Mr Dupree.....
Always wondered what Gordon Edwards looked like. Glad to see this...which obviously was filmed at Montreaux. Plain and simple...this FUNK...GUTBUCKET FUNK. No wonder Joe Cocker had these guys as his backing band around the same time this was filmed
There’s a big difference between 80 mph when you’re in a hurry, and 80 mph when you ain’t.
I was bored so I just typed "stuff" in TH-cam and found this. What a treasure!
Listen how Gordon Edwards makes all kind of space for the piano and drums to get busy while he just holds down the 1 and 3! That's masterful.
I was at Montreux in 76 to see and hear this. A great evening followed by the Crusaders.
Check today’s date. (12-7-2021)This is still as tight as the day they laid it down..
I love the fact that these guys are only standing there playing masterful music, while musicians nowadays only seem to be jumping around in front of a camera. Nice stuff!
Steve Gadd is one of the best and innovational drummers you’ll ever hear. Just great music all around by true virtuosos.

Mike has definitely laid down some bass grooves that sound like this, indeed.

thanks for uploading
You know... I'm playing some odd game on-line...
And I have this set on replay, with a few other vids set into the mix.
I've been listening to odd ...stuff... all my life. This little band of studio musicians caught me decades ago. Just SIMPLY one of the best jazz-rock-funk bands 'never' seen on this planet.
T-shirts sought on E-Bay, by teen-agers who have never heard the music, and albums sought in dust LP shops by old fogey fans that know the joke.
And in the end...
It's just STUFF!!
Steve Gadd, man. YES!
Sitting at work with my headphones on....My head's a bobbin!
thank you cornell for for them double stops,fat drops and afro hi tops xxxx
I like how it's mostly mixed for the drummer's perspective
Don't remember that episode, but we DID videotape the episode with Cocker AND Belushi doing "Feelin' All Right" backed by Stuff! GREAT CLIP!
Here it all is.
Love the Stuff!
I also like the way they mixed Eric Gale on the left... Evidently the mix engineers didn't watch the video. ;-)
peace
Just the best.
Great quintessential NYC tastemaker band of all time.
very nice.
very cool....great groove....
Sounds great.
. . .this song is called 'FOOTS'; from their inaugural LP/CD !
Been said, but have to add - RTee's left hand, my God!
Good Music make good people ;-)
Good people make good music too !
simply can't find the words for this...
Oooo...Now thats what I call a thick groove baby!
STUFF .... best studio band ever
@midiman51 ...I agree with you, it should be a compliment... some of my favorite drummers are Al Foster, Tony Williams, and Carlton Barrett (I'm a huge Miles Davis and Bob Marley fan, what can I say....), and those guys have a groove that most white drummers simply don't have. Not to take anything away from Mitch Mitchell, but there's a huge groove difference between "The Experience" and "Band of Gypsys". Gadd had it, simple as that. Yeah..... RIP Mr Dupree.....
amen to that
Super !!!
Alto godimento!!!
. . .STUFF the one you're with !
Fuckin unbelievable music!!!
I agree!
aaahh groovy baby!!
Always wondered what Gordon Edwards looked like. Glad to see this...which obviously was filmed at Montreaux. Plain and simple...this FUNK...GUTBUCKET FUNK. No wonder Joe Cocker had these guys as his backing band around the same time this was filmed
