On September 13, 2003, Steve Gadd was honored by the Avedis Zildjian Company at the second American Drummers Achievement Awards (ADAA) at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston, MA-an historic evening that included a special tribute to the late Armand Zildjian.

The once-in-a-lifetime event was hosted by Mr. Bill Cosby and featured an all-star band that included, Vinnie Colaiuta and Rick Marotta, drums; Michael Landau, guitar; Jimmy Johnson, bass; Larry Goldings, keyboards; and special guest appearances by Will Lee, vocals and Tom Scott, saxophone.

The evening culminated in an incredible performance by Steve with James Taylor (*CLICK HERE to watch excerpt) .



This double-disc DVD features over
six hours of footage, including the evening's performances; exclusive rehearsal footage;
a 20-minute documentary on Steve's career, narrated by Tony Levin; backstage interviews; rare, early film footage of Steve, and a video tribute to the late, Armand Zildjian.

James Taylor, backed by the nucleus of his band including Steve Gadd on drums, closed the evening with “October Road”, followed by a stirring rendition of “Country Road”, giving Steve plenty of room to stretch, which worked the audience into a frenzy. James made a touching speech, stating how fortunate he feels to play with Steve, then Steve and the band brought the house down with a rousing rendition of Duke Ellington’sThings Ain’t What They Used To Be”; Steve again having plenty of room to stretch as only he can. The show closed on the highest possible note and Steve was gracious enough to remain on stage and sign autographs for the many fans who made their way to the front.
