Gadd said he was impressed by the quality of play of D"Angelo when he recorded the "Ou est la Source" album of french singer Michel Jonaz (L.Carlton was on the cast also)This album is a jewel ..particular the sad song of Michel Jonaz mourning his brother (Arthur) just a gem ..gives goose bumps each time I listen.
Steve Gadd has done it ALL.....Rock,Jazz,Funk,Fusion.....etc......not many drummers can claim that....Paul Simon,James Taylor,Eric Clapton,Chick Corea.....Legendary grooves and chops and timekeeping......a drum lesson on every video he plays on.
+Abdelkarim Keraressi There's a world of difference between being technically brilliant and beautifully musical. If you can't hear the difference I can only pity your soulless existence.
When “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” came out I was a little kid trying to learn drums in NYC. I always heard the same thing about him. One of the baddest out there.
Steve hit the drums incredible precise , and being able to play slow really says it all. I understand why he was so used up through the especially 70 and 80, 90 a century. One of the best and my favorite
@@jumpinjojo I mean, you clearly thought you were being clever in some way there, but yes, if suddenly today we had more ex-heroin addict drummers than yesterday, that is a good thing because it means fewer heroin addicts.
Part of the problem sometimes is that the guys you play with don't want to give you that much time. I've tried doing that and they sort of wanted me to just play a bunch of notes for 32 bars and call it a day. So there ya go.
It must be a little disheartening at times to know you’ll never be any better. This is the best you get. Pure greatness. Good thing I don’t have that problem.
Gadd is the GOAT. Seen all of them. Love all of them. But no-one else maintains their role as a (pocket) drummer throughout pretty much all of his solos. He can do all the fancy stuff as well or better than the rest, but you are always aware that he is a drummer, first. And his mastery of almost every type of rhythm is superb. The man.
He's played with the best since the 60's. I picked up an old CD at a thrift shop a couple months ago...with Chet Baker...then saw him live with James Taylor. He's one of the most "in demand" musicians around. Of course....Steely Dan, Al DiMeola, Mingus, Clapton, James Brown, Laws, Lateef, Paul Simon, Mangione, Ritenour....McCartney....he just keeps going.
Yes! And I loved Gadd's playing in the late seventies with his New York musical buddies when they called themselves STUFF.!! This keyboardist here hits some sounds that remind me of the great Richard Tee! Keep playing!
Clapton said that Gadd pushes him constantly... in a good way. He will look back at Gadd, which he does quite a lot, and Gadd is back there putting his whole body into his playing egging him on like, "Come on man, is that all you got??? You got more than that". I can tell when not looking at a video, if Gadd is there or not. It just doesn't sound the same... the drive is missing. Check out Rick Beato's video "The DRUM SOLO That Changed Popular Music". Was never a Steely Dan fan, so I missed it back in the day, but Gadd has two solos on their song Asia that were un-fricking-believable. Oh and... West on bass. He adds these little ghost notes that really fill out the bottom.
I can honestly say I have never seen as much emotion in a drum solo as I do here. This is just Gadd sitting here, having fun, and pouring his heart and soul out through the the sticks. It's a shame there isn't many musicians like this anymore...
I love at 5:50 he comes out of solo-mode way on top of the beat. By 5:58 you can hear him pull the reins and the whole thing subtly just settles right back in.
Hi ! Thanks for this video. I'm french and yes, Steve Gadd is an "immense" in french (amazing) drummer. The pianist is not Brad Cole but a french musician very talented who played many Concert (and album) with Michel Jonasz. His name is Jean-Yves D'angelo. Thanks for him ;)
tout simplement unique!, mortel, inhumain! Steve Gadd: Dieu de la batterie! tient, et si je faisait un petit solo; pas probleme. 5 min plus tard ca repart comme c'est venue! Mortel !!!
C'est Jean Yves D'ANGELO au piano ! Pianiste talentueux Français ! (avec entre autre le chanteur Michel Jonasz).Merci pour Steve Gadd quand même ! FRIENDLY TOMGADD !
Man, there's nothing wrong with really enjoying what you're playing. When you hear a groove you want to move, it's the most natural thing, it's not "pure exhibition".

Steve Gadd has an amazing way of looking so slow, but sounding so fast! His style and sound is totally unique. Thank you, SG.

Thank you, Charles! I couldn't agree with you more!! Steve Gad is very musical and just plain awesome!
As far as I'm concerned he's the best all-around drummer for

He's a madman... But then again what genius isn't.... One of the best in the planet... Hands down
Magnifique .je les aiment.bisous jean Yves. T ai déjà rencontré au concert de Michel jonasz.. que j adores
if only more drummers were like steve the world would be a better place
James Hardman Ex heroin addicts?
@@jumpinjojo I mean, you clearly thought you were being clever in some way there, but yes, if suddenly today we had more ex-heroin addict drummers than yesterday, that is a good thing because it means fewer heroin addicts.
Such patience in developing that solo...i would just freak out and immediately start playing my bullshit immediately haha
It is about music, not about drummers ego. :)
I know, he gets so much mileage out of every beat. Plus that very groovy ,sort of held back style is a kind of signature of his right?
Haahhahaha Ikr! Lol
lol

Un grand moment de la musique
Merci Monsieur Jonasz
Love that expression on Steve's face at the end !
Luis Conte and Dr. Steve Gadd...LEGENDS!
His high hat work is outstanding
As classy as always - such a beautiful, musical, intelligent drummer! Love Steve Gadd
It must be a little disheartening at times to know you’ll never be any better. This is the best you get. Pure greatness.
Good thing I don’t have that problem.
Stunning. As ever. And Mr. D'Angelo also great!
92 people wouldn't know good music nor musicianship if it was right in front of them for 7 minutes and 2 seconds.
I love the bit when Gadd plays the cowbell in 5/12 time. LOL :) Seriously Gadd is definitely one of the drum Gods.
Absolutely Mr. Steve Gadd is gifted drummer so that he has great groove and feeling of times. T.S November 20th, 2013 11:20pm
Stunning. Unique. Utterly brilliant. What a feel...

Steve always works so well with pianists.

Steve Gadd. One of a kind.
2 musicians that keep giving me goose bumps every time I listen to them Steve Gadd and Eric Clapton. I guess that is why they played a lot together.
Clapton said that Gadd pushes him constantly... in a good way. He will look back at Gadd, which he does quite a lot, and Gadd is back there putting his whole body into his playing egging him on like, "Come on man, is that all you got??? You got more than that".

He adds these little ghost notes that really fill out the bottom.
Gadd still playing with the great Clapton to this day.. next to jim Gordon gadd is the man
Gadd-zooks... Holy cow, what a solo! You Gadda love him...

Amazing Performance!!!

Yes Steve Gadd you are the best wow
Man! One hell of a drum solo!
l' Ange "percute" le batteur de mon coeur
The timing and discipline is immense
maestro steve gadd.... the biggest groove-drumman in the world for me
Steve gadd is just too bloody amazing. Inspires my drumming
Such wonderful solo construction. He always makes everything he plays feel good and understandable as well. Great power and intensity.
Also takes a special kind of someone to just throw some whole rests (more or less) in their solo and make it sound good. What a legend.
this is incredible this solo started in half time its hard to play fast and bring back life into a solo from that steve gadd is a master!!!!
THEY ARE BESTS
LEGENDS
FABULOUS

AWESOME
Thanx Tomgadd...another classic Gadd posting. Keep 'em coming !!

Increible
JAZZMASTERS!!!!!!!! OF JAZZ MUSIC!!!!!!!!
dear god that was PHENOMINAL!!!!!!!!!
Magic!
I always thought they said "we're on a mission from Gadd" I swear!
My hero
I don't know why, but i started cracking up when the guy appeared in the lights 4:44 - Gadd's like "Oh, you're here!".
Steve Gadd MASTER!!!!!!
holy shit that part at the very end of Gadd's solo with the Bonham triplets actually filled me with rage and hope in some crazy unexplainable way.
Or despair !!
"Gadd is the meaning of life" - this sentence is so true!
Kind sir, you have nailed it.
wow !
god bless Steve Gadd...
You know its good when there is Steve Gadd + Drums + Cowbell = Eargasmisational.
Eye like your definitive word!!!!
good lord! fantastic. love Mr Gadds sambas. and to top it off with a leopard print vest... We're not worthy!
Beutyfull.
Unbelievable!
Simply......WWWWOWWWWWW
Loving that vest.
I can honestly say I have never seen as much emotion in a drum solo as I do here. This is just Gadd sitting here, having fun, and pouring his heart and soul out through the the sticks. It's a shame there isn't many musicians like this anymore...
Wow!
I love that crazy left hand starting around 5 30 ! Insane!
I love at 5:50 he comes out of solo-mode way on top of the beat. By 5:58 you can hear him pull the reins and the whole thing subtly just settles right back in.
steve rules!!!
Holy tom angles! Gadd is awesome!

This is the year Richard Tee died .. Steve Gadd must've thought of him playing with this pianist. Very similar sound & style. Love it!
Tee was the man!
