Event Information

Steve Gadd Band Album - 2019 Grammy winner for best contemporary instrumental album.Is Steve Gadd the most influential drummer of all time? Could be. Along with Ringo Starr (with whom hes played alongside and counts as a friend), hes one of the few sticksman whose licks and patterns have been scrutinized, emulated and downrightripped-off by millions of drummers across the globe.And with a resume that boasts sessions and tours with the likes of Chick Corea to Eric Clapton to Steely Dan to Paul McCartney to James Taylor to Paul Simon to you-name them, hes put his indelible stamp on rock, jazz, blues, fusion and pop. If theres a form of music he hasnt played, chances are it hasnt yet been invented.Every drummer wants to play like Gadd because he plays perfect, Chick Corea once said. He has brought orchestral and compositional thinking to the drum kit while at the same time having a great imagination and a great ability to swing.
