Stanley Clarke / Steve Gadd - My Greatest Hits

Some of the best groove you will ever hear.

[@jsbruzina]

The two of these guys alone sound like a full band!!!

[@alksv]

One of those tapes you watch every day since the day you first witnessed it.

Steve Gadd plays drums not just to keep time (which he always does, mind you), but as an equal melodic instrument to guitar and keys. It’s stunning.

[@mootbooxle]

39 people apparently lack any musical taste whatsoever. I don't care what type of music you're into, you just can't deny how good this is! Man, Steve to me is just the epitome of tasteful groove. He gots chops, he knows when to use em, and more importantly - when NOT to. And of course, Stanley Clarke. The man has so much style. A true innovator!

[@Oggification]

That paradiddle lick comes up everywhere with Gadd. It's such a good lick.

[@rob140138]

There's not a drummer alive that plays a snare, kick and high hat like Steve Gadd. One of many reasons he's influenced drummers for the past 35 years.

[@papaisacudo2]

Oh god...thank god those guys exist...they're what's left of good music...

[@adurgaram]

Gadd is a super drummer!!!!

[@giovannidangelo6386]

Basso e batteria hanno sempre dialogato ma qui i due musicisti sembrano unirsi magicamente. Grande!!

[@mrrob817]

This is more than black n white.....this is what we were meant to do as souls....this is a perfect example of human interaction ...this is true art

[@gsjbaldwin]

Gadd is simply ferocious!!! My favorite drummer of all time.

[@colonelcorn56]

Mr. Gadd is a master and could play anything anywhere. And probably has. Very Influential style. One of my favorites!

[@kameya87]

i performed w/ stanley clark a couple years ago. he was on upright bass nd was drummin on the bass n everything, it was crazy! he was sittin next 2 me, i was on alto, he looked at my music then turned back the other way. i was like, dont u need the music? he was like no, nd he played all the songs by ear, that was so cool 2 me. they werent even like typical standards...

[@vitalianstallion]

Man, I remember about 25 years ago when I was a 9 year old kid who just started playing bass... I started emulatin Stanley and Jaco and I thought every drummer in the world would play like Steve Gadd. 25 years later, I'm still looking. Amazing video, haven't seen this in years.

[@fcsxm03]

Steve Gadd hits every "kick"... It takes a true PRO to keep up to an improv solo like this. Don't Be Hatein'...

[@ivydaniels5302]

This guy is the best….he’s the GOAT….for real

[@Killick2]

steve has the most groove and control of any drummer i have ever seen he is amazing

[@bass0111]

Lord have mercy. Two GIANTS at play.

[@markee2006]

Steve gadd is one of the top drummers out there ,this clip is just tastey.

[@WOWskarphace]

I came for clarke and stayed for gadd.....this is awesome

[@thierrygellusseau1985]

To my mind the best duet ever !

[@atlatin417]

Two masters showing their chops.......

[@genewilliams617]

THE "GROOVE MYSTER" IS A WELL EARNED TITLE.!!!

[@swablar]

have not watched Gadd in a while. Wow Once again i'm floored. All these yrs later. So cool,relaxed,right on the pulse,and intense at the same time. He really is Steve God !!!!!!!

[@labgnat]

Silly Putty is such an amazing song and this twisted performance couldn't be much better

[@joebean14]

Drummers can get caught up in the latest and greatest, but for my money this is what good drumming is about.....pocket and big ears (listening).

[@genewilliams617]

ANYONE giving a thumbs down is simply JEALOUS! PURE AND SIMPLE!!!!!!

[@peterguglietta5260]

Who are the 56 chowderheads who gave this a thumbs down? Peasants!

[@joshcoa]

his dynamics are off the wall

[@gasaholic47]

Yep, great catch. Steve Gadd - graduate of the premier music school in North America, the Eastman School of Music in his hometown of Rochester, NY

[@marielamartinez2840]

De pie damas y caballeros Una lección de bajo y batería !!!

[@cypan1]

absolutely the real deal of FEEL Mr Gadd Has it !!! a gift from Heaven , he developed it to the Extreme thanx Steve Lessons which are well valued on and off the Stage

[@SeanofAllTrades]

I love the paradiddles between the Hat and Snare.

[@genewilliams617]

Masters at improvisation, this is a total "JAM SESSION"!!!!!

[@neofunkyman1]

My favourite bassist, - saw him live with George Duke rip at Wembley. He played everything rock, soul, jazz, fusion... brilliantly.

[@johnallan78]

Thats just awesome.never been clarkes biggest fan but thats so good.

[@mertzanakia]

it's so good that it made me start crying !!!

[@quackbeef]

everything is perfect. his playing. the smooth sound of his drums. this is earsex!

[@rugdoctor]

stanleys pants are the most incredible thing i have ever seen

[@moonchard]

I've been following these guys for years and they never cease to amaze me. How anyone could vote this down is beyond me. People voting dislike can't have any sense of rhythm. Clarke & Gadd are amazing!

[@gasaholic47]

LOL, right at the end it was like they were playing chicken, to see who would get in the last lick...Gadd is amazing. Got to interview him bakc in '06 for a local arts mag here in Rochester. A true gentleman.

[@plemyk]

Absolutely Incredible!!!

[@genewilliams617]

Among other things, Gadd was the master low volume cook chef!

[@PatToscano]

BEST RYTHM SECTION RIGHT HERE!

[@2112dim]

Watch the way they communicate when they look each other in his eyes.Amazing!

[@HowieP]

One of the baddest bassists with one of the greatest drummers; an awesome combination!

[@SteveAdamsChannel]

This is a Str8 up Master class!!!!

[@SkyRiderJavelin]

Yep ... diss is REAL Drum and Bass.....doesn't get better than this

[@efergarmx]

I am enchanted with the precision and very good harmony of those musician.

[@SlyHobbit]

This reminds me so much of the jam sessions my dad and I used to have. Me on drums him on bass. Good days.

[@aidend1993]

oh and...the crazy army groove he chucked in at the end was incredible :)

[@ConfortinDEADHORSE]

The Bassist and The Drummer... do refuse imitations

[@GBuckne]

I was living in Germany when this aired on television about 25yrs. ago. The other drum set in the background is Curt Cress's.

[@Silcs]

Holy crap I love Steve Gadd..he makes drumming look sooo easy,what a legend!!

[@CarpPinePlays]

I am a drummer, and Steve's one of my favorites. What I mean by "small and repetitious" is that he has his Collection of Legendary Gadd Licks which he uses everywhere. But the strange thing is, he sounds fresh every time.

[@dakotablack2003]

I can’t believe I forgot about this video. I remember thinking Steve was floating

[@PilferMusic]

Steve Gadd has to be one of my fav drummers... Stan is the man!

[@1stclassrecordings]

main tune has been a fav for yrs, when the bass plays, na na na naaaaa, or how i hear it, gimme my change.

[@zaorulesmetal]

He is! Stanley Clarke is a handsome fella! I bet he puts the move on the ladies like nobody's business!

[@redhill2007]

What an incredible rhythm section! There's no need of any musicians here...let there be groove - wow, big time!!

[@vitalianstallion]

One of my favorite bassists and one of my favorite drummers throwing down. Dig it.

[@JBordan]

best groove i have heard ever, stanley clarke is awesome

[@dekarthegreat]

I've heard numerous drummers tell me that while he may not be their favorite drummer, Steve Gadd is the most perfect drummer. I believe it, especially after seeing this.

[@mikers117]

Totally amazing. These guys must be siamese twins. That was tight!!

[@ronin20scam]

Doctor Clarke ! They don' t need guitar, vocals, or.........NOTHING MORE !! PERFECT ! :))

[@yellowquantum4240]

Still looking back it is masterpiece work. Gadd technique between hi hat and snare . And Stanley syncopation is the best on bass Jaco was a cellist of the bass. Great times!!!!

[@bohigasss]

UNBELIEVABLE....

[@RWIron]

My second reply on this, but damn love to groove with stanley clarke hahaha.

[@califdefunk]

One of the heroes!

[@chrisrobin4033]

2 masters trading off ,,,goosebumps for days!

[@dolken2]

Speechless....

[@alisonmlb]

OMG! what a groove!

[@Buzaglod]

This has SUCH synergy is INCREDIBLE!

[@NotMarkKnopfler]

Steve Gadd is just THE best drummer in the WORLD. I saw him on tour a while back with James Taylor, and on one song, he played with his FINGERS!

[@waitaniwha]

Added to favourites, thanks.

[@ovalie38]

Qui ne donnerait son meilleur avec lui et Mike Mainieri ? Et dire qu'on les ignorait dans les années '70.

[@AWBolden]

The song is "Silly Putty" from the "Journey to Love" Album by Stanley Clarke. Steve played on the studio track, with Stanley Clarke (bass), George Duke (keyboards), the little known David Sancious (guitar), and a horn section. I saw Stanley Clarke live in 1975 (Journey to Love tour) and 1976 (School Days tour). After an instrumental interlude, he began both shows with Silly Putty. His high school buddy Gerry Brown was the drummer in 1975 and Darryl Brown was the tour drummer in 1976.

[@Lanudoperro]

Stanley is a bass god

[@PlymouthVT]

Steve Gadd is like most music monsters...makes it look easy..yeah kids go out and buy a set of drums and groove like Steve.. Oh the heartache!!! LOL!! Thanks for the post!!

[@RickMolinaro]

Awesome display of Gadd's superior playing. Some of the best ghost notes I've ever heard - crystal clear.

[@La_sagne]

damn, again one of these kickass songs that i haven't seen yet... gadd and clarke never fail to surprise me

[@budda777pl]

Steve has got it!

[@RWIron]

TwO Ultimate LEGENDS of all TIMES!

[@martin84jazz]

so beautiful... what a groove!! this is MUSIC!

[@pokerpirat]

The best jam ever...!!

[@tml1019]

I think the best part is the first half. Watching the incredible things Gadd does using just the bass drum snare and high hat. Truly incredible!

[@stephystills]

Love Stan the Man-- Thanks-- Recognize that Bass anywhere--- Cool video-thanks for bringing it - Steph

[@ReubenAdkins]

What can you say......two of the greatest on their respective instruments.

[@bahjazz]

I've learned a lot from Stanley Clarke. It must be a dream playing along with a drummer like Mr. Gadd.
