Jimmy Johnson, you are the best.

[@mettamoose5074]

Agreed!! My bass hero since forever, seconded by Pino Palladino, Jimmy Haslip, Percy Jones, and Oteil Burbridge.

[@mettamoose5074]

Oh, and Marcus Miller! But still Jimmy "Flim" Johnson will always be top of my list!

[@hanziwatdan5373]

Jimmie.Very yes ,so balance in spectrum notes.and his guitar sounds awesome , unique. I got 2 other bass heroes ,Ray Brown and ,chuck Israels .

Great performance! Everybody was amazing here

[@jracerichards]

Gadd is the embodiment of a drum machine with surplus groove . He keeps the band tight timing wise and groovewise.

[@ritabrooks9059]

Wow! What a great band! Great picture and sound quality too!

[@janetremsing6988]

Gadd’s still killin’ it with his great feel, time & playing..👍🙂‼️

[@jormayorccis1028]

What a band! Golding's solo on The Windup and Landau's solo on Duke's Anthem (which is really a beautiful piece by itself)! Jesus! Interplay between these guys is amazing.

[@ardnicholls]

I first saw this band in 2017 in Cheltenham at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival and then again in 2018 at Ronnie Scott’s, with the same lineup both times but with Kevin Hays on Electric Piano instead of Larry Goldings, I also had the honour and privilege to meet and talk with Steve Gadd after the gig in Cheltenham,a true gentleman and an absolute musical legend,hero,and influence of mine😁👍

[@plamusiciampauladams3403]

I AM SO DEEPLY GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR LISTING THE GREAT LINEUP OF THE PHENOMENAL MUSICIANS ACCOMPANYING STEVE GADD IN THIS TERRIFIC CONCERT !!!

[@christophermitchum6829]

[@MrLittlepump1]

Wow what a refreshing listen. Top notch musicians keeping a tight groove. This would be so great live. Thanks for the great vid

This guitarist made a believer out of me:)

[@stretch54]

This is the best thing on KZbin !!

[@fsback1965]

Great collection of some of the most down-to-earth, humble and very talented musicians - thanks for the great music guys!!!

[@Twofiddymill]

Understated playing always gets the best results…truly using their ears to create and not out to impress….works every time!

[@iencamel9736]

My ears are wide open listening to this excellent groove. Steve been drumming for awhile I remember gadd fusion days excellent glad to see he's doing it 😁

[@MrLittlepump1]

What a great performance. Thank you for posting it. I enjoyed every minute

[@gregcarleton1118]

Thanks for track listing. Top notch stuff.

[@Beat-zk4fq]

Steve Gadd is my idol. I aim for drummer by listening to his drums and respecting him even if I become a professional. His play at the heyday was wonderful, but I love his play now. Thank you for uploading.

[@chrislinhares7311]

Marching band background makes the best set players.

[@herrbonk3635]

He's much better now!

[@jracerichards]

@@herrbonk3635 1000% agree. When you get the chance listen to his work with the rest of the band on James Taylor's album Before This World. His approach to the drums is truly inspirational.

[@alexandrekalugin366]

It is the great pleasure to feel the breath of this groove machine...

[@franzschaefer4002]

As solid as it gets! Thank you Steve and friends!

[@giuliozambelli6521]

incredibly great musicians, I love Gadd drumming, Jimmy Johnson is one fo my favorite bass player

[@edwnorris]

I wish I'd know this is what I was looking for a long time ago. Thank goodness I finally found it.

[@juli_drums]

I was there, still can´t believe it :D

[@григорийгришин-ъ9щ]

Обожаю этих ребят!

[@bradleypagliaro9133]

The same group of musicians went on tour behind James Taylor if I am not mistaken, but with Mr. Johnson as Music Director rather than Mr. Gadd. Here, they really shine !

[@brendanbuckley8482]

Yes, saw JT last night at Tanglewood, and this band was with him. I didn't realize who was backing him. Phenomenal.

[@ronaldzijffers9864]

Again one of the best .. got Album at home and my Speaker really love to play this....

[@jayk5549]

I saw them play at dimitrious jazz alley. So good. Seemed like yesterday

[@danlc95]

Those drums just sound incredible! I love how the snare is sensitive, and has a nice tight, concise sound but still breathes. The toms have a sweet attack, and gorgeous "swell" and resonance. I might want more articulation, personally only because I have coated Ambassadors on my drums currently, and they're too "pretty" for the music I'm doing with them. I may move to a C.S. Black Dot, Emperor, or PinStripe. Probably not the PinStripe though. They're more beefy than I want to go with my general purpose kit where I'm playing everything from jazz to metal. But the clarity of tone, and sensitivity may keep me with the Ambassadors. I found a set of Aquarian Classic Clear w/ Power Dots in my closet. I didn't even remember that I had them. I'm going to pull off the new Ambassadors I put on last week to get through those Aquarians. I spent the money, I'm going to use them!

[@JoyMinistryy]

This is great! Steve is the greatest cuz he plays from his heart, and always lays back into the groove and let's the other players go

[@sietsebeen3785]

Gadd forever.

[@Josh-yi4gr]

Hell yea. And larry does too. They all are laid back groovin from their hearts. real groove. Real music.

[@PeterThoegersen]

yeah all drummers need to self sacrifice and let the guitarist solo forever and ever. yeah.

[@waynewright187]

Still one of the best ever…

[@danieljackson1938]

What an Opening tune, Awesome Solo. Simply Perfect,., Great Gig,.,.. Thanks for sharing,.,.,.,. :D

Favolosi

[@PLDrums1]

Basically the James Taylor band. Incredible.

[@stretch54]

Without James Taylor holding them back :-)

[@robertaldi9261]

So intersting... clearly classic american country western influences. Not a genre typical to getting mixed into the Jazz fusion. Talk about stacked lineup! Looks like Jimmy using those alembic basses like Stanley Clarke

[@stretch54]

All of Steve Gadd's bands have had some country or folk and soul influences back to the days of Cornell Dupree, Richard Tee and Eric Gale. His style is really suited to those styles.

[@mrkremko1]

I’m pretty sure it was Stanley Clarke and jimmy johnson that launched the alembic line

[@taraverde9444]

amazing harmony

[@ivopetta9781]

Grandiosi !!!!!!

Maravilha!!!!
