Chick Corea - The Ultimate Adventure |

Steve plays drums on
Chick Corea's
2006 release The Ultimate Adventure.
"I also took this project as an opportunity to make music
with some of my old friends who were so important to my
music-making in the '60s and '70s--namely, Steve Gadd,
Airto Moreira and Hubert Laws. And together with my more
recent musical partnerships with Vinnie Colaiuta, Hossam
Ramzy, Frank Gambale and Tim Garland, and finally the
members of my current band, Tom Brechtlein, Jorge Pardo,
Rubem Dantas and Carles Benavent--I was definitely
inspired by these great artists in the creation of this music."

Paul Simon - Surprise |
|
In 2006, Steve tours with Paul Simon, James Taylor,
and does Mission From Gadd III.
Steve plays drums on Paul Simons spectacular
Surprise album, released in 2007,
and produced by Brian Eno.
www.paulsimon.com
"Outrageous," their best full collaboration, suggests that while
Eno and Simon may approach world music - and indeed most
pop forms - from polar extremes, the common ground they find
is truly elevated. In an era when many of his peers are content
to craft mere artistic comebacks, Simon's re-emergence here
is a bold, compelling step forward."

YAMAHA Drums Artist Signing - NAMM 2007 |
| |
|
|
"Been playing drums with Brian Setzer since 1992
(along with others). Also, I have been playing percussion
mostly in the studio and some live shows. So, I played
percussion (vibes, shaker, and snare drum) with James
Taylor at a corporate gig in Indio, California (near Palm Springs)
with Steve on drums. We rehearsed on February 27 and 28th
with the concert on February 28th which was when this photo
was taken. Steve has always been a huge inspiration to me
ever since I was at Eastman from 1979-1983.
But what a groove (literally) to play with him finally.
Thank you!
All the best,
Bernie Dresel" |

L'Image 2.0. CD (2009)
|
|
L'Image originally included friends Mike Mainieri, Warren
Bernhardt, Steve Gadd, and Tony Levin. They were all
living in Woodstock at the time and decided to devote
several months to developing the music.
They rehearsed in Mainieri's barn, which was converted
into a studio, and played at the Joyous Lake (Woodstock),
The Red Creek Inn (Rochester, New York: Gadd's home),
and New York City. At a later date the quartet added guitarist
David Spinozza, who also toured with the group.
To much dismay of their worshippers, the group was
short-lived, but they did manage to record some of the
music on Mike Mainieri's solo albums, 'Love Play' and
'Wanderlust.' After and since, the members played with
each other in various groups and recordings. Finally,
L'Image reunited in 2009, recorded and released
a CD titled "2.0."
In 2009, they played shows in New York City and Japan.

L'IMAGE IN JAPAN 9.2009:
"Much awaited tour of Japan with my old friends, and
musical cohorts, in the band L'Image. First show will
be tonight, at the Tokyo Jazz Festival, but as always
here in Japan there is a lot to look at and photograph,
so I've got a few pictures from rehearsal day and
night here in Tokyo."
