All bass players can only dream of playing with Mr Steve Gadd.
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
This guitar work is from another planet.
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....
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.
Awesome story....God bless!
You're lucky to have been there and to still be here. Those were some crazy days back then.
Yea GOD BLESS
That’s awesome!! Gadd is the best play with perfect space drummer of all time!
That must have been a great delight.
One of the few drum solos that remembers the song that is being played. Fantastic.
RIP Richard Tee, RIP Cornell Dupree..Thanks for sharing your talent with us..
Pacolo Dukol.... amen to that brother 👍
Haha This drum solo has literally every Gadd signature lick in it. Love.
one can easily see why steve was one of buddy's favourite drummers
That's great. I hear Buddy is one of Steve's favorites.
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.
Cornell Dupree's ability to seamlessly blend into the background, yet adding flavorful licks to the composition is just simply Legendary.
What a fantastic groove!!!!!
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.
Richard Tee is one of my favorites players. Very tasteful playing and excellent/unique voicings and rhythms! Gadd is on fire!
As much as I like seeing guys like Neil peart and Dave weckl I really enjoy straight grooving like this from Gadd! Just keeping that rhythm going!
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
Richard was so Gospel (RIP).
any one of those guys can groove on their own, together its in another world!
Great groove
This song is so smooth that I almost melted right out of my chair. Perfection.
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.
The sax is so raunchy and Gadd seems in the thralls it’s so sweet and fun.
This song!! I grew up with this! My dad had Junior Parker’s “You don’t have to be black to love the blues” on vinyl. This song made me fall in love with the harmonica and lead me to learn harmonica. 😢
As usual, Steve and the crew, takin us all to church, just let this soul stirring music move you and feel the love!
Steve Gadd's drum solo is unbelievable.
What a great Band and all of them are so good the late Richard Tee, Cornell And Steve Gadd !!!Eddie Gomez !!!Stuff !!!!
It's not stuff without Eric gale and Gordon Edwards.
Very smooth. They sooth the soul.
This is just fantastic. I was alive and listening to music in 1989, but would have completely missed this one at the time. A master class of a simple standard progression in the hands of masters. Beautiful.
I more than agree. It's gospel piano style in its most perfect form. So wonderfully uplifting.
this to me is the quintisential drum solo by Gadd or anyone,this how you solo this is pure magic without the tricks just pure driven talent....
And NIGHT-SPRITE on Corea's "The Leprechaun" ;-)
Oh, what a groove…just fantastic.
My god!!! His groove is so comforting always. It’s indescribable but it fucking always soothes and pumps me up!!
wow! I was born the same year this was recorded... I have lots of catching up to do. Very inspirational player Steve Gadd is.
RIP Cornell Dupree and Richard Tee, you are the real funk brothers!
this man and the whole band sounds very authentic ....... cool indeed
THE "MOST WONDERFULL" JAZZMUSIC!!!!!!!
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.
Your hipster talk is too much for me.
Man that shit was Bumpin bro. They in the Grove
Gadd you dirty dawg! Awesome
It's late, what a way to end a day
Just grooves along with legendary ease!!! Superb.
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!!!
Gadd; a true monster and innovator to be sure.
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.
Well said, you've inspired me to check out Gadd Gang. Where is a good place to start? I love Gadd obviously, and am aware of Richard Tee through Paul Simon, what record should I get first?
dupree -- a supremely witty mammal. we miss you, my friend.
i like this way back home, its so sweet to my ear, I TO SEE STEVE GADD IN PERSON hehe
The names in that are some of the best in the world, we love you...!
Way back home...(smile)..
Doctor Gadd is a compelling reason to start or to stop drumming.... Thx from Macedonia
Thank-You Mr. Steven Gadd , from All the awesome chops i learned from you ,, and taught other prize winning drum students as well .You are
the Master of funky linear ( spelling ) groove artistry . You wrote the book of the subject ! And david garibaldi . :)
THERE "IS A LOT" OF JAZZMUSIC!!!!!!! IN THIS VIDEO! AND THE JAZZMASTERS!!!!!!! OF THE "HALLOWED" JAZZMUSIC!!!!!!! TO BE PRECISE!
All Gadd stuff WoW , but especially that fill at 7 min 15 🙀!!!
Rocky Too Tall on Baritone sax 😆 Richard Tee's The man... This has the core of "STUFF".... Gaddism Funky Hi hat snare with quick double with ONE pedal on z bass drum!!!! Yeah man
beautiful.... love the depth.. the layers... of notes.....
It really was a fantastic one
Great groove, Gadd on fire as usual! 6:02
this groove is so good
Gadd is just so tasty. EVERY chop is actually saying something and not just fast for the sake of speed. He also doesn't need to twirl or throw his sticks in the air!
Good drummers don't show off, they just play with excellence!!!!!!
If you listen closely, you can hear a melody on the hi-hat...! Like they're talking whispering secrets in the background. Truly beathaking!
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.
me too, when i was a skinny 17 year old kid
you were 65 in 1975? damn you must 108 years old right now!
If there really actually were a musical showdown to take place between human beings and the devil, I think I would want this team to be the humans. They would just handle it.
That's great! I totally agree with you. I just love Steve Gadd. His brain is on a whole other level.
I love how Ronnie Cuber (sax) goes for it!
Gadd has so much groove. Just behind the post like that, THIS is Steve Gadd.
Groove meisters - every one of 'em.
Goose bumps.......
The solo was amazing. Very tasty, very enjoyable.
Gadd ist fantastic. What a Band.
Pure gold!
cornell dupree. what a smooth beast.
Duncan Booth yes
