I’m always amazed at the Level of control Steve Gadd has. Never overplays, yet contributes to the overall intensity level of the group in his own stylistic ways. Genius! The interplay between all the musicians here is phenomenal. My favorite part is during the guitar solo - amazing interplay between he and Chick, but it is also between all other members between themselves as duos as well as the entire group. It’s like that all have 5 ears! I appreciate all 24 minutes of this!
I caught up with Gadd backstage after a gig with the North Texas State University 1:00 band back in the early 80s. I told him I first heard him on chick’s leprechaun album and loved how he somehow seemed to play the tune’s melodies on the kit note for note. He responded that he learned a lot about playing drums from chick.
Hm, interesting. We the family disagree! @Jazz-life if only you could ask Chick. Steve was more than well-fitted. You do understand that Chick has a certain role in Steve's style, right? Steve learned many things from him.
It's sometimes easy to forget just how formidable a drummer Steve Gadd has been - and on evidence of this performance, still is - on the drum set, particularly when we have such an array of impressively explosive drummers out there now. It's only when you watch a video like this that you realise where it ALL came from. So much of his playing has inspired generations of drummers. A remarkable achievement. Long live SG.
And he's not up there messing around, he's pushing the song along and then getting out of the way. I like that he doesn't play a ton of fills and show off, he is tasteful.
He’s definitely the epitome of groove,taste,sensibility and style. I hope the new generation of musicians especially drummers can appreciate his artistry and contribution to the world of music.
The older I get, the more I appreciate Gadd's drumming! Now I understand what everyone was talking about when I was younger. RIP Chick, thank you for the music!
Something else to be said about Chick is: how he LISTENS. As the music grooves ahead, you can see how Chick attunes himself to his fellow players---eyes roving, ears open. Notice, for example, the intimate way Chick digs into what Lionel is putting out. Chick happily sustains Lionel's energy, but he also invites L into what appears to be a spontaneous duet. You can see it all from 9:00 to 12:00. Their shared contact deepens what the moment offers. On this day---2/14/2021---it looks like Chick is sending Lionel a valentine.
We miss you, Chick! You inspired so many people around the world with your music. I think I realized how much your music meant to me, when you were gone. Fortunately, the music lives on.
Chick at his best..... great complex, melodic song.... yet exciting, & warm hearted, ...tight groove band...creative, inventive solos! Fabulous all around, thanks for posting!
@@drbassface bud, u do know adblock exist for free right? On Mobile too... The only reason I even saw the ad was because I turn off adblock to support channels I like. I will never give my money to YT
In the shower of well-deserved praise for the band, don’t forget Steve Wilson. His subtle use of space and confident phrasing set a high bar for the solos that followed. Without drawing attention to himself, he helped the tight arrangement to breathe shifting the music into a higher gear. That’s the sign of a master.
That is gorgeous! Just really getting into Chick. Saw a great interview that Rick Beato did with Steve Gadd, that took Me down the rabbit hole :) Love how Chick watches the other players, it reminds Me of Dave Brubeck. Very cool!
Back to the 70’s.. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT...... Thank you Mr. Corea....... It reminds me of practising 8 hours every day most of which to your music. Mr. Corea you changed the world for the better... Love and peace to you.... Keep safe.... :)
I love this because Gadd is just doing Gadd things while the bass player and the percussion player just vibe (in the best way) and Chic and the sax and drum player just duke it out.
Hard time comprehending the awesome talent I just experienced, but I expected nothing less from this line up before I even started watching. I knew I was in for a master class of how to perform at the highest level and how to play with, against, for and to the other band members and the audience. Amazing in every respect.
This whole thing is so good, but the guitar solo is completely fearless, unconventional, & the band plus Chick coalesce under and with the guitar soloist. Each chorus, the music goes to a higher level. I can watch this video over and over. Thank you Master Chick Corea RIP - rest in power - and salute to every single great musician who has performed/recorded with Armando over many years.

💥 Absolute genius. Chick Corea has the rare gift of never run out of excellent ideas, and do exactly what he thinks, and NEVER do anything he doesn't want. These 2 characteristics I haven't seen on anybody else simultaneously. 🎉❤❤❤
Whenever Chick comprises a host of stellar musicians of this caliber as jazz enthusiasts we can only expect one thing to happen great music will spring forward with stunning results.
Saw the Corea-Gadd Band in São Paulo few years ago. Chinese Butterfly is an amazing album. Come again as it becomes possible, Chick. Again, give us some Return to Forever as you feel like.
I am so depressed , didn't know he is dead . Today i heard his music . Yesterday i heard his music ... . It was an unbelieveable great time with all these musicians . They made my life .
Absolutely fantastic ensemble performance. Steve bringin the pain as always. He plays so hard and is so solid. I love Chick's expressions during the tune. You can tell he's so happy with whats being created. Beautiful.
Steve Gadd. Fortunate to see him perform with Simon & Garfunkel, Al Jarreau, Stevie Wonder, Chick Corea, Al di Meola and a few others in different settings. Didn't matter how many people in the audience, 50, 25000, it didn't matter. He's the greatest.
Took me a couple of tries to understand Lionel's groove at the beginning of his solo, and I'm in love with how bad ass it was. Amazing performances by everyone!
Same! It took me a few seconds to get into his groove but once I understood what he was doing it was an amazing journey. I have never heard any guitar solo quite like it!
I went backstage to see Chick after a wonderful gig at Ronnie Scott's, London sometime, I guess, in the late 80s. He signed a magazine for me and gave me some very encouraging words when I told him I was studying jazz piano myself. A beautiful soul who will be dearly missed in this world so needful of music magic and inspiration...
it sounds and flows so natural...it seems easy! A life spent to reach this level of musical knowledge...and everything vanishes in an instant! we'll miss you :(
Legendary artists blowing out an incredible high quality composition. Chick……..RIP. Gadd, keeping on grooving! Talented young bucks jamming, learning and dishing………wow!
Absolutely brilliant ! I played this song in the 90's in my conservatory final exam. It will always be a big touch of magic to see and hear maestro Chick Corea play! Your spirit will live with us forever !
Hey, props to whoever mixed this live recording. Everything sits nice, has it's own space, nothing's drowning anything else out. That's not always the case, is it?
Steve Gadd, ageless and smooth as silk. My God, the licks that have transpired because of this gifted musician. Like branches of a tree that grew over a wall. I for one thank you for inspiring me.
Amazing group all around. I can't get over how Steve and Chick just seem to get better with age. I will say that what I like about Steve's playing in this performance is that he's playing with the percussionist and not over the percussionist. Too many drummers tend to do that.
Steve , a very good drummer, has the sensitivity to follow and stick with Chick in his music experiments. He is also the best tuner of drumset I know.....!💟👍
Such a gracious, warm & giving individual. My experience watching RTF live there was no competition of musicians but a synergy of mutual talent & each member given the ample opportunity to display their gifts. Unfortunately these days much is made of the cultural divide between races. Music makes them unite & such was much in the spirit of all Chick Corea's work (as clearly on display here - bravo!). RIP Mr. Corea you will be missed.
i've always like the art of Chick Corea because it seems like he can make the keys talk conversationally, and always fit in any conversation without being awkward. I saw him several times with Return to Forever (Staneley Clarke, Lenny White, Al Dimeloa) back in the 70's when they would come through Chicago on tour. Great memories.And what can you say about Steve Gadd? best snare crack in show biz!

He uses space so well, that's what makes his grooves so good, he knows when not to play and let the rhythm breathe.
His career was built on song construction and the role drums plays in those songs. Even his solos are designed the way a song is constructed .
Buddy Rich thought of him as the finest drummer, after himself:)
From an interview from 1978
I caught up with Gadd backstage after a gig with the North Texas State University 1:00 band back in the early 80s. I told him I first heard him on chick’s leprechaun album and loved how he somehow seemed to play the tune’s melodies on the kit note for note.

These guys age is youthful..Master at the craft
Gadd is one scary drummer. Amazing.
Chick is almost 80
RIP Chick
RIP dear beloved Chick Corea. May you RETURN To FOREVER beautiful soul..❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏

Watching Gadd seamlessly flow through time, tempo changes and his general relaxed approach to drums remains inspirational. What a great band!
Yes Steve Gadd one of the best anyway !!!
The guy is pure music!

We lost a legend. I used to listen to My Spanish Heart, Friends, The Mad Hatter, The Leprechaun, Three Quartets, ... every day after school.
Me too ! I still have some of the compositions from those albums on my iPhone !
Rest well Grand Master Armando Corea !
And music magic album
R i p Master. 🙏 Merci pour votre musique et des beaux moments d'humanité..🙏🙏🎶🎵🎵🎶
Master indeed.
Lionel Loueke one of the most significant guitarists in the last 50 years with something new to say
Lionel’s performance is out of this world. Never head anything like this before
He was really having a deep conversation with Chick when he was soloing
79 years Chick, 75 years Steve, return to forever, makes me feel young and positive for my further musiacl future (67)
indeed! RIP Chick

Their bit of interplay during Lionel's solo was my favorite part of the whole piece
I think it cant get any better than this, Corea and Gadd are ageless
Yupp!

Tears in my eyes.

RIP Chick. Your music lives on in all those you've influenced. Thanks for the magic you brought.
A drummer so melodic and expressive he can make you cry
100 %
The Jimmy Cobb of modern drumming. Tasteful and total control of deep pocket creations.
Every musician who's ever played with him has become a better musician because of it, one the few real greats.. RIP maestro🙏
When Steve Gadd plays, the band is tight. He elevates it. His dynamics are incredible. Every cymbal hit, etc ..

Steve Wilson is indeed a master musician, and furthermore a marvelous human being. He's genuinely humble, and always there for the music 100 percent.
Intelligent comment. Well said
The control Steve has on the band, groove plus tempo with subtle awareness of a click in mind is truly amazing.
Thank you, we the family always appreciate Steve's continuous fan support. Each individual in his group is a true master; RIP Chick.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YEAHHHHHHHHH!!! Chick and Steve still doing their thing...Ive been listening to this jam since the 70s...
Sup

This is the only school in Jazz That interacts hormonally with the melody This school will not die
perhaps you were searching for “harmoniously” instead of ‘hormonally”?
Rest in Peace Sir! Thank you for your immense contribution to Jazz and the Arts! Your composition mastery will continue to be celebrated!
These guys have gone where no amount of technique could take you without the ears and the heart as your guides. Sublime...

Seamless conversation among the drum and percussion is amazing
Drums are percussion, no? . Did you mean drums and brass?
You will stay alive for all of this. Love you Chick
Descansa en paz Chick.....siempre estaras en nuestros corazones ,gracias por tu generosidad.

Agree. Skilled, talented and complex. But not the kind of music I like to tune into. Idk why. I tried to get into jazz, but this just doesn’t move me.
Gadd is 75 !!! OMG still nailing it. What a genius
Nobody does it better than Gadd& Corea

Corea and Gadd are Genius, for me Gadd is the greatest drummer of all time. I think about him as a modern Donatello or Leonardo da Vinci on drums ❤
Just wonderful! thanks Chic and Steve! This band just grooves! RIP Chic……🙏
What a great band...love the interaction...Gadd plays superb musically...as always...we know him for that..thanks chick for posting this nice track

Chick is such a great composer. He had a unique ability to design well coordinated bridges tying his band to the varied musical ideas of his genius.
YESSS !!
As Mike Stern often pass from clear sound to distorsion during his chorus,Chick Corea moves from electric piano to synthesizer !!
These guys are the masters of the universe
Thank God for Gadd. One of his best solos of all time.
Lionel is something else! Fantastic. Thanks Chick once again!
