      I totally felt the same way ,great description. I loved the grove but the drum solo threw me off that joyful groove. Just started listening to jazz etc.. and understand this drummer is good. My opinion don't hate.

    Glad I came across this one. big fan of all, especially Steve, Richard and Cornell's work with Stuff. Use to hang at Mikell's on 97th and Columbus just to see them. First time was in 1975 when I was a skinny 65 year old kid. What groove they had.

    i personally prefer jojo mayer and dave weckel playn drums. I know steve gadd has played with everyone but maybe its just me but I find his style really drab. my hero wud have to be david garibaldi out of tower of power he colors everything up really well. hes the man.

  • @bobbywatley
    @bobbywatley 12 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    What most musicians don't know is...Steve Gadd had the best company to learn from when he was younger....Art Blakey...Max Roach would stay at his family's home whenever they were in Rochester back in the day....

  • @clevername9864
    @clevername9864 5 ปีที่แล้ว +70

    I saw this and somehow remembered it. When the camera changed to the first wide shot, I realized it was because I was there!
    I was hired as a sideman by the band that opened for this night, Blues & R&B night, I think they called it. Albert King closed the show. I was a guitarist but am a fan of masters of any and all instruments, and Steve Gadd was a particular favorite. It was amazing to find myself in the company of an idol, and to hang out with him and Cornell Dupree and Richard Tee and Ronnie Cuber! I never dreamed I would see this, didn't even notice is was being filmed. For this to suddenly pop up 30 years later (for me) is completely mind blowing.

    KANE PARANIHI you better get your pulse checked and hearing because if you can't dig Gadds Drumming then you got a hole in your soul Man He lays down such a DEEP in the POCKET Groove WECKL and MAYER ARE GREAT But Can't lay down that GROOVE OF GADD

  • @rohiten1

    Good Lord...that Gadd solo...with those sensitive touches. He follows that rhythm so close...he's playing the tune and melody all by himself

  • @JanEdwardVogels

    Cornell Dupree's ability to seamlessly blend into the background, yet adding flavorful licks to the composition is just simply Legendary.

    Steve Gadd, Cornell Dupree and Richard Tee were all members of a band called Stuff which also featured Chris Parkar on drums and Eric Gale on guitar. They were superb live. Saw them numerous times in NYC.

    This is the most understated drum solo I've heard. Not flashy or over the top, but amazing control and subtlety. And I love Richard Tee's piano playing. It's likewise not flashy, but carries a lot of strength and harmonic power.

    • @dansuwinski9554

    I watched Cornell, Purdie and Chuck Rainey about 17 years ago. I watched Gadd twice but in the back band on Clapton Live. So Gadd played just gentle performance.
    This is the best solo I've ever seen!!! I'm covering amazing tunes by guitar in my channel!!!

    That's what you call a groove - a railroad track groove. Wish the audio was a little better but the listener gets the idea. Stevie Gadd just boxes & jabs his tail off.

    LOVED the Gadd Gang when they came out in the late eighties and in particular this solo. If you like Steve Gadd's style, find this project. Lots of great innovative solos that will stick with you and get stuck in your head. Some seem so damn simple but the nuances and, for me anyway, my inability to emulate them would drive me to practice many many hours until I had it and could work around the kit with them. This guy helped me grow so much as a drummer and musician.
