What a beautiful base

[@paulgriffingatorgrooves]

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!

[@acjohn6995]

He uses space so well, that's what makes his grooves so good, he knows when not to play and let the rhythm breathe.

[@jracerichards]

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 .

[@MrAdvance2go]

Buddy Rich thought of him as the finest drummer, after himself:) From an interview from 1978

[@DanielBarberMusic]

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.

[@mitchelgadd]

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.

[@martinrockport2485]

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.

[@Twoholesofman]

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.

[@dagostinoification]

Yes dear friend ! exemple >>>kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIC9gHeHqqp7baM

[@paradiddle16]

Amazing pocket and some great chops!

[@ChaaShaq]

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.

Return To Forever, Chick. RIP

[@mikey6452]

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.

[@jacobsmith1877]

Their bit of interplay during Lionel's solo was my favorite part of the whole piece

[@DihelsonMendonca]

💥 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. 🎉❤❤❤

[@gsmit2925]

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.... :)

[@rhythmfield]

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.

[@mikey6452]

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.

[@billkirchner6738]

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.

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.

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.

[@drewper73]

I became familiar with the guitarist Lionel Loueke from a concert on KZbin. He was playing with Herbie Hancock, Nathan East, and Vinnie Colaiuta at a jazz fest in Basel, Switzerland. Then when I saw that he was on the Chinese Butterfly album, that was all the more reason to buy it. I have a question about an effect that I’m hearing on his guitar starting at around 10:18. If I didn’t know better I would’ve thought that Chick was the one using the effect. Can someone tell me what effect that is? It’s definitely on at around 10:18. It might be on before that. Corea and Gadd can do no wrong!

[@ManosRK]

Sounds like either a synth type of effect or an octaver/pitch shifter of some sort.

[@rhythmfield]
