April Jazz: Steve Gadd BandEspoon kulttuurikeskus, Cafe Louhi, espoo28.4. At 19:00
Steve Gadd Band
Drums master Steve Gadd is among the most respected and emulated musicians in the world – an anomaly whose panache for playing precisely what a piece of music requires plus bringing signature taste, style and energy to the proceedings has resulted in hundreds of the most rhythmically exhilarating moments in recorded music history, across genres.
Amazingly, as he was laying down custom classic grooves for “pop” records such as Paul Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover,” Rickie Lee Jones’ “Chuck E.’s In Love,” Van McCoy’s “The Hustle” and Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb’s “Guilty”, he was simultaneously recording landmark jazz-rock fusion masterpieces such as Steely Dan’s “Aja,” The Brecker Brothers’ “Night Flight”, Al Jarreau’s “Spain,” and Chick Corea’s “Nite Sprite”. Couple all of that with his charisma and drive as a live performer for artists from Eric Clapton to James Taylor and it is clear: no other drummer has impacted jazz and popular music like Steve Gadd.
For the first time in Finland, Steve Gadd will be performing with a line-up from the legendary James Taylor all-star band.
