ABC NEWS
GOOD MORNING AMERICA
FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2006
8:30 HALF-HOUR,
EMERIL LAGASSE
MOTHER'S DAY DESSERTS, PAUL SIMON PERFORMANCE "OUTRAGEOUS"
PAUL SIMON INTERVIEW "SURPRISE"
"Simon has rolled out an
itinerary that features stops
in a dozen US cities and one Canadian performance, all
of which are confined to the month of July. So far, all of the engagements are single shows, with the exception
of Atlantic City, NJ, where a
two-night stand is scheduled."
www.livedaily.com
" ...this is a worthy addition
to the Simon catalog. Brian
Eno is credited with providing
a "sonic landscape," and he gives the set a muscular
stamp, beginning with the crunchy opening electric
guitar riff from Simon. Thanks
to Eno's electronic
underpinning and
Steve Gadd's drumming,
the songs have plenty of bounce, with at least a couple reminiscent of "Graceland."

One of the most influential drummers of all time, Steve Gadd set a new standard in contemporary drumming techniques and performance, and in doing so launched a thousand imitators. Steve has recorded countless legendary drum tracks like; " Aja," "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover," and "Nite Sprite," There is no drummer alive today who in some way has not been effected by Steve Gadd. His influence can be heard in the playing of everyone from Vinnie Colaiuta to Carter Beauford, and to this day there is no one who can get "inside" a tune and find the "pocket" quite like the great Steve Gadd.

NOVEMBER:
Chick Corea Quintet with Ravi Coltrane, Steve Gadd,
Anthony Jackson & Frank Gambale NOVEMBER 14-19, 2006 New York, NY
SUPER TRIO
"Why Super Trio is only being released in Japan is a mystery. This live set revisits material from Now He Sings, Now He Sobs (Solid State, 1968), Light as a Feather (Polydor, 1972), The Mad Hatter (Polydor, 1978), Friends (Polydor, 1978) and Three Quartets (Warner Brothers, 1981), focusing as much on Corea the composer as Corea the pianist. In the same way that recent trios led by guitarist Pat Metheny have drawn from a broad cross-section of writing from his entire repertoire, Super Trio is a reminder of how many memorable tunes Corea has written—many still becoming part of the collective musical unconscious."

Don Grolnick , Steve Khan & Steve Gadd in 1976
from www.stevekhan.com
"Certain portions of the '70s now seem like an absolute blur to me. High on that list would be the number of lost nights trekking out to My Father's Place in Roslyn, Long Island for two long sets of music as part of Steve Marcus' Count's Rock Band. I recall driving out with "The Count" in his little Volkswagen on those icy January nights, and listening to him extoll the virtues of how a White Castle hamburger should be devoured as though it was a fine oyster. The description was complete with a two-finger approach to holding these comestible jewels. I also remember worrying that Will Lee and Steve Gadd might be late. In those years, Steve Gadd lived on W. 30th St. in midtown Manhattan, and in a converted fur office space. Yes, for minks, lynx, chinchillas and other beasts.[I hope that Bob Barker doesn't start to picket Steve's gigs and clinics!] I actually recall that his bedroom was in a fur locker itself complete with a HUGE bolted safe for a door. Incredible! From January 1st-3rd of 1975, we were there, at the club, to open for Larry Coryell and the Eleventh House. Our little band, on those nights, was to consist of Steve Marcus on Electric Soprano Sax; Don Grolnick on Fender Rhodes; Will Lee on Electric Bass; and Steve Gadd on Drums."
