Ronnie just passed. I am so glad to see this. Thank you:
yes, this was the collab we really needed, may he rest in peace. Thanks for being the guideline in how a bari sax should sound to so many of us Ronnie 🙏
And thanks WDR for capturing these guys and releasing the album! What a documentation of seasoned talent!
🙏Bruce!
🙏Sharp!
RIP Ronnie !!
Those drums... Oh my Gadd!
😂 Manuel!
Nailed it. I can even hear a Rochester, NY accent:)
I believe in Gadd!! 😂😂😂
You're right, in Gadd we trust
Steve Gadd always knows just what to do. Always.
Yes, Sir!
He's not a magician...but a true MUSICIAN that is integrally par of a band. That HIS signature.
Gadd‘s drumming is steady as earth‘s path around the sun. It never hesitates, it’s unstoppable and there is a gravitational pull to it
well said !!!!!!
great musican, i know his play from an Al di Meola album "Electric rendezvous"
@@zoltanolah9812 He played with everyone from Chick Corea to Eric Clapton.
You got that right! He’s about the best.
I love this analogy. Nicely put.
Gadd’s solo starts slow. He outlines the groove. Progressively he gets more intense while never overplaying. Pure artist.
👍True!
Great musicians. Steve Gadd, as always, a master of his instrument. You can hear his incredible experience and musicality in every stroke.
Thank you!
What a pleasure to listen to this huge muscians. They sound perfect, with the right groove and swing. Steve Gadd is, for me, one of the best drummers ever. An example to follow, no matter which style I play. A big hug from Argentina!
Thank you for your kind words, Carlos! Greetings to Argentina!
When I need something to lift my spirits, I listen to this!!
Hi Martin! Great, music can heal....
We miss you Ronnie. Thanks for all the beautiful music.
🙏Paul!
Steve Gadd is one of the best drummers ever to pick up the sticks! His grooves and his solos are AMAZING!
The whole band is perfect! Thanks for this so much! Ronnie was one of best!
Thank you for watching and your kind words!
I (Jonathan Sorrell) was so fortunate to have recorded with both Steve Gadd and Eddie Gomez, together with guitarist Hugh McCracken and Toots Thielmans, on a Philippe Sarde film score in Paris, along with the Orchestra de Paris. I was playing keyboards and Synclavier. I even had the honour of giving Steve Gadd a lift to the studios in the morning from his hotel. Such an unassuming guy, really pleasant, and the ultimate professional. The film music was great, but the best moments were in the break when Toots picked up a guitar and jammed with Steve Gadd and Eddie Gomez - wish I'd recorded it !! Thanks all you guys for all the pleasure you give us 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing your story with us!
Sad to hear of Ronnie’s passing…absolute legend.
That is true, Jeff! It was a honour and pleasure to work with him!
Dang, that was Groovy. !!
Thanx, Jim!
It always amazes me how as musicians get more "seasoned", their music and their solos contain more and more space. Instead of trying to impress you with their prowess on the instrument, they have gone full circle and they are reducing the music to its essentials and are now making great music.
Couldn't have say better
Absolutely. I will never forget hearing an isolated track of later era, Miles Davis. It was all “squeaks, pops and duds”…. Until you put it into the context of the song… then it was musical perfection.
This is such a wonderful "Pre-Tribute" !! Do not wait until People die - Let's celebrate NOW !!
RIP Ronnie, and thank you for all the inspiration you have given me over the years playing the Baritone Sax.
Rest In Peace Ronnie Cuber
And Cornell Dupree.
True, Andrew!
@andrewsandoz8005. No disrespect to Cornell (RIP), but where’s the relevance? Cornell is not on this recording, and he didn’t play on the original either. Why mention him in this context?
@@andrewsandoz8005üüüüüüäääääüäääääüüäüüääääääääääääääääüäüääääüüü
Omg. The beautiful funky sounds coming out of these people. Amazing. Blown away.
Thank you, 1irishanml!
Steve Gadd. I just love that drumming ❤
Welcome to our channel and thank you, NewEarthWorld!
WDR horns are amazing.. and with Gadd's drumming, just wowww
Hi Milo! Thank you!
Yeah, superb intonation and tight as.
Good Gadd that was awesome 🎉
Nice sax solo. Steve Gadd is amazing
Hi Anthony! Welcome to our channel and thank you!
Tha great Steve Gadd!!!
Beautiful Steve Gadd, Eddie Gomez & Ronnie and musicians ❤️
A lesson in groove.. Gadd doesn't have to play a million notes to show how great he is.. oh b t w 77 years old.. 5*****
👍Gary!
At last - one fleeting glimpse of the great Eddie Gomez. Inexplicable.
Amen
Wow ! I've never known this one ! Thanks so much because in the original (Yes - We all miss Richard T on that one for sure.), all were so young, like me 'back in the day'. Let me tell you - When I took up Bari Sax some years ago, and now until this day - I'm a major Ronnie Cuber Fan - and that's how I became a major Steve Gadd Fan !
Wow! what a song, Steve Gadd is such an inspiration, seeing him at his age playing strong is so cool.
Hi Rolo! Thank you!
The entire composition is just amazing. I love what Bobby Sparks does with a Hammond B3. But, being a college drummer... Steve Gadd can find the pocket and also blow you away with his chops. He can play any style. And I cannot say that about some of the greatest drummers of all time.
You're not a "college drummer". You are a drummer...! Period :)
I hope I can still play when I'm their age...Sucks to see the greats getting old.
Hi Derik! Why pity, - with the day of our birth it is certain that we age. There is nothing pity about it....only in our mind.
Superb. Rest in Peace Ronnie. ❤
RIP one of the true giants! Ronnie was, for me, the ultimate baritone sound! Especially his work with Randy Brecker was astronomic! Thank you WDR for this wonderful video.
Hi fergus! Thank you for watching us!
Superb !!!! Gadd - Creative EXCELLENCE !!!!
Hi John! Thanx!
Thank you WDR for all your gems!
Hi PD! Thanx for watchin us!
Good Gaaaaadd Almighty! 💪💪💪👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
😊🚀,1981TURBOTRANSAM1!
Flams...paradiddles,. Ouch! Straight up fon-kay...and the baritone sax put a slice on the pie💯🤟👆🎶😎💖
Hi Christopher! True!
Damn that felt great thanks guys for the first class playing by all players!!!!!!
Hi Spence! Thank you for watching us!
Beautiful transparency. For Cuber, to want to say something, much less have something sublime to offer at 79 years old is priceless. It gives me hope. For Gadd, well's he the gold standard--still.
Love it !!!! So great!
Hi Romain! Thanx!
This is absolutely wonderful music!
🙌Martin!
Baby baby baby baby now. Great music and great instrument playing
Very tough to see Ronnie looking like that. But still he sounds like Ronnie, man. Very emotional.
🙏Noah!
I am so touched!! Gadd gang so many memories and all magical.
Thank you for this historic gem!!
Hi Yellow! Thank you for watching us!
Die Besten mit dem Besten. Wie cool!
😎Thomas!
BRILHANT! Hey, young drummers. Have you seen? That are chops! Spaces, timing, breath and sweet notes with groove and good taste. Less is more.
Exactly!
Erste Sahne! Erfahrene Männer zeigen hier, wie kraftvoll und spielerisch ein Arragement klingen kann. Höre dies zum x-ten Mal.
Steve gadd the King drums❤️

Hi 박영헌의!Thank you for watching us!
the age of syncopation, pocket, chops and delivery.. all four..viva señor Gadd
👍
Ronnie's breath control is starting to show hi age but there is no doubting his soul. What heroism!
Solid. Gadd Solid.
So, you could sense I was needing a Grove to get me going this morning… So Grateful… Thanks, I Got This 👍🏻😁
TGIF… ✌🏻❤️🇺🇸 😎
Hi Craig! Hopefully our groove is helping every morning:)
Gadd is a beast not a flashy solo but great in the art of pocket and simplicity
Thanks for sharing! Awesome ❤️

Sehr sympathisch, dass alle Mitwirkenden genannt werden! Herrn Abene besten Dank für die zahlreichen aussseridischen Arrangements - das ist mehr Kompositionsarbeit. Unvergessen die Arrangements um Roy Hargrove. WDR Big Band vielen Dank für euer Können. Stets ein besonderer Genuss!
Danke dir für die herzlichen Worte, DE!
Steve.......🙏🏻🥁💕💕💕
magnifico.
Thank you, Gady!
Tears!
Oh my Gadd!
Ahhhhh bravo♡
puh.. da hätte ich beim Drum-Solo an Brunos Stelle schon den ein oder anderen Angsschweiß verspüren können... :-) Er hat den Auftrag dann perfekt und lässig erledigt. Klasse!
I had the great honor of having a private lesson with Ronnie back when I was an undergrad student in 2013. I still have the gmail email thread saved with him. I can't believe he's gone. I'm a bit late here, but still can't process it. They say you shouldn't meet your heroes: they were wrong. The man was a jazz giant yet generous with his time. I guess all I can say is RIP to the best.
Hi Hansen! Thank you for your story! R.I.P. forever Ronnie!
Sensacional. Vou repercutir no meu blog!!!
👍J.!
