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

RIP Richard Tee, RIP Cornell Dupree..Thanks for sharing your talent with us..

Pacolo Dukol.... amen to that brother 👍

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.

That must have been a great delight.

One of the few drum solos that remembers the song that is being played. Fantastic.

Steve Gadd's drum solo is unbelievable.

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....

Cornell Dupree's ability to seamlessly blend into the background, yet adding flavorful licks to the composition is just simply Legendary.

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.

Haha This drum solo has literally every Gadd signature lick in it. Love.

Richard was so Gospel (RIP).

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!

any one of those guys can groove on their own, together its in another world!

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!

What a fantastic groove!!!!!

As usual, Steve and the crew, takin us all to church, just let this soul stirring music move you and feel the love!

Great groove

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.

What a great Band and all of them are so good the late Richard Tee, Cornell And Steve Gadd !!!Eddie Gomez !!!Stuff !!!!

I more than agree. It's gospel piano style in its most perfect form. So wonderfully uplifting.

The sax is so raunchy and Gadd seems in the thralls it’s so sweet and fun.

wow! I was born the same year this was recorded... I have lots of catching up to do. Very inspirational player Steve Gadd is.

Very smooth. They sooth the soul.

this man and the whole band sounds very authentic ....... cool indeed

Great groove, Gadd on fire as usual! 6:02

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

Gadd; a true monster and innovator to be sure.

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

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 . :)

It's late, what a way to end a day

It really was a fantastic one

Just grooves along with legendary ease!!! Superb.

This guitar work is from another planet.

dupree -- a supremely witty mammal. we miss you, my friend.

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!!!

Good stuff right here!!!!

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.

Thank you for this video and identifying the band members. Very much appreciated.

Steve is by far one of the best jazz drummers ever

I love how Ronnie Cuber (sax) goes for it!

i like this way back home, its so sweet to my ear, I TO SEE STEVE GADD IN PERSON hehe

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?

The names in that are some of the best in the world, we love you...! Way back home...(smile)..

beautiful.... love the depth.. the layers... of notes.....

Pure gold!

this groove is so good

Doctor Gadd is a compelling reason to start or to stop drumming.... Thx from Macedonia

RIP Cornell Dupree and Richard Tee, you are the real funk brothers!

If you listen closely, you can hear a melody on the hi-hat...! Like they're talking whispering secrets in the background. Truly beathaking!

The solo was amazing. Very tasty, very enjoyable.

Oh My Gadd!

Amazing version, thank you so much!

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.

Gadd ist fantastic. What a Band.

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!!!!!!

Wow fantastic.

Steve Gadd: Gracias.

This is Steve's video tombstone. Just loop the groove from the end of Ronnie's solo... I'm pretty sure he'd be happy with that. (Hoping that you become the Guinness Book Of Records "Oldest Man On Earth", Mr.Gadd...)
