- Stuff was an American jazz fusion band during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The members were Gordon Edwards (bass guitar), Richard Tee (keyboards), Eric Gale (guitar), Cornell Dupree (guitar), Chris Parker (drums), and later Steve Gadd (drums).
History - Edwards describes how the band was founded ...
"I was contracting and playing studio sessions, and hired Cornell for many of the dates - so we started recruiting for the band. One day at Rudy Van Gelder's - I remember it was a hell of a job; it was for Queen Esther Marrow, great singer. George Benson was on the job, Bernard Purdie, and Richard Tee on keyboards. Esther asked me if she could use the band for a club date she had lined up - a club called Mikell's in New York City. We did play there, and Richard Tee stopped by one time and he started coming every night. We only worked Monday through Thursday, and Mikell's was packed, wall to wall, round the block."
After parting ways with Esther the band returned to play there every week.
"Steve Gadd came by one night to sit in with us, as did Eric Gale, and they both became a part of the band. We were rolling heavy, and one night I was approached by Michael Lang, the gentleman who put on Woodstock, who said he was sure he could get us a record deal - were we interested. Sure enough Warner Bros. flew in from California to hear us live. They liked us, but we couldn't use the name The Encyclopaedia of Soul - it was too long. I remember we were in a diner that was on the corner by Atlantic Records one day; there was me, Michael Lang, Cornell Dupree and Erma Dupree and we were trying to decide what we would call the band. It was Erma who said, "You know Gordon, you always call everybody stuff, I don't care who it is. You should call the band Stuff."
They joined Van McCoy's big disco hit "Hustle" in 1975. Members of Stuff were among the most sought after session musicians of that era, playing with Aretha Franklin, John Lennon and Paul Simon; they supported Joe Cocker during his world tour to promote his Stingray album and performed with Saturday Night Live in its second season. The band released five albums between 1975 and 1980. Their second full-length studio album: More Stuff earned a Grammy nomination. Stuff's first album was recorded at Long View Farm in North Brookfield, Massachusetts[3] and produced by Herb Lovelle in 1976. In Japan it was certified platinum.
Stuff was associated with Mikell's, the New York jazz club where session musicians would meet for jam sessions with visiting soul, jazz, and funk musicians.[4]

❤🥁❤️
Thanks for the feedback Jimmy!
Jazz Fusion Friday! Nice Earl, ...I like that one a lot! Great cymbal combo there w/ the DE Ride! Love it! 🥁👍😎
Thanks for watching Jeff! It’s my Steve Gadd ride! Super dry and dark! I’d like to get a 22” or 21” version of this or the DE MKII!
@earldrum I would consider a 22 DE MkII as an all purpose ride!!!!
@@metzilla I know you like the DE series! I do too, if I have money to spend … it’s over $400 😂😂😂😂
@earldrum not too dark just right!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very nice song. I’m going to have to look this band up. Well played as always Earl! Loved your lighting on this one too! 👏🥁
Thanks for watching Claes! I appreciate the feedback on the lighting I’m trying different things to make it cooler! Check out Stuff! Great NYC studio musicians! Steve Gadd and Chris Parker on drums!
@@earldrum Will do! Thanks again Earl!
Awesome drag notes and grooves! A real treat to my ears. Have an awesome weekend Earl.
Thanks for the feedback Ben! Have a great weekend! 🙏🏻👍🏻🤘🏻😎🥁
Awesome cover man! Not an easy groove and you played it perfect! Sounds great🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for the feedback and watching Toby! It’s a funky song! 🙏🏻😎🤘🏻👍🏻
I've searched for Stuff's appearance on "Saturday Night Live," but can't find it, other than the time they backed Joe Cocker and John Belushi doing "Feeling Alright."
There is a live stuff concert on RUclips from 1976. Most of Stuff was in the SNL band for a few years in the mid 70s!
Subway as in elevator music Earl, or the kind of funky Friday music...eating lunch at Subway LOL.
The ride looks like a Sabian Monarch. Could appreciate it's sound at the end of video.
Stay cool this weekend Earl.
Dying in Vegas already 😅
Thanks for the feedback Edward! Subway is a song by the great 70s NYC studio musicians/ band Stuff! Steve Gadd, Chris Parker, Richard Tee, Gordon Edwards, Eric Gale and Cornell Dupree! It’s got an elevator music vibe, but much funkier! The cymbal is a 20” Paiste Dark Energy MKI Ride. I choose this cymbal in 2006 looking for that Steve Gadd dry ride cymbal sound … I think this is as close as I’ll get on that Steve Gadd sound! But that was my inspiration for a ride cymbal for lots of years and I had quite a few ride cymbals! Someday, I’ll do a show on my extensive cymbal purchases, trades and types! I have a spreadsheet list with over 100 cymbals listed! Anyhow TMI! thanks for watching!
@earldrum My friend, your knowledge is astounding in the music world. Would love a video on your cymbals.
Maybe in that video, you could explain how you word it to your significant other that your looking at another cymbal. LOL.
Hammer, I don’t know where you find these musical gems to jam to, but I love this one.
Your hat, snare, bass combination is awesome, as is the ret of your precision playing.
Thank you for sharing this one with us.❤️🙏👏❤️🙏👏❤️
@@edwardkaminsky8142 I’ll see what I can do … I love talking about cymbals … I’m thinking of digging into my cymbal history … my wife knows of my obsession with cymbals! That’s why she is coming with me to the Music City Drum Show In Nashville! 😂😂😂🙏🏻👍🏻🤘🏻😎
@@gregwonhoff7161 Greg, I listen to lots of different music … this is a classic group of studio heavies from the 70s! It’s on RUclips, Spotify, etc. Check the original music out! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻🤘🏻😎🥁
