Podcast appearances and mentions of Steve Gadd

En esta edición de nuestro podcast presentamos 'Inspirations', el nuevo trabajo del compositor y arreglista noruego Tom Hansen. En el repaso a novedades de la música Smooth Jazz reseñamos los álbumes de Kim Scott, The Brothers Feat. Mark Whitfield, Johnny Britt, Peter White y Eugenie Jones. En el bloque del recuerdo recuperamos algunos pasajes de la primera parte de la discografía en solitario del baterista Steve Gadd.

Jamey Haddad's career as a drummer and percussionist has spanned five decades, countless genres, and multiple continents. For over 25 years, he's had a close relationship with Paul Simon, playing alongside Steve Gadd on multiple records and live projects. He has appeared on over 170 recordings and has played with a wide range of artists from Joe Lovano to Yo Yo Ma, and his career as an educator has found him at Berklee, New England Conservatory, Oberlin Conservatory, and the Cleveland Institute of Music. In this episode, Jamey talks about: Playing with Paul Simon, and Paul's constant desire to rehearse and adjust how his music is presented Recording the album You're The One and collaborating with Steve Gadd to create the rhythmic and textural foundations for those songs Committing to representing the traditions he studied in the pop world  How a given style can be treated as both an academic subject or a folkloric tradition “Every generation needs its music.” How to make people you're playing with know you're listening to them

El pasado día 12 de febrero se cumplieron 8 años de la muerte de uno de los más grandes artistas de la historia del jazz y uno de nuestros músicos favoritos, el vocalista, compositor y también excelente letrista de Milwakee, Al Jarreau. Además hace unos días, concretamente el 12 de marzo Jarreau habría cumplido 85 años. En uno de los primeros Vinilos para Gatos, concretamente en el episodio número 10, os acercábamos uno de sus trabajos más desconocidos, All Fly Home del año 1978. Coincidiendo con el 5º aniversario de su muerte, en febrero de 2022 os entregamos su primera grabación oficial, We Got By del año 1975 y al año siguiente le tocó el turno a Glow. El año pasado por estas fechas os entregamos This Time, editada en el año 1980. Hoy le toca el turno a Brakin’ Away, la grabación que convirtió a nuestro homenajeado en una auténtica leyenda. Sirva como siempre esta publicación como modesto homenaje al maestro.

VORAB Preview zum zweiten Album vom Lisa Wilhelm Quartett: https://youtu.be/e5HrH5IxjLQ?feature=shared Nices Straight. Bämm!!! Selten gibt es etwas im Podcast, dass mich so nachhaltig packt. Aber Nices Straight! Das ist genau so etwas, das mich über Tage noch beschäftigt. Und wie so oft in der Musik sind es die Dinge, die nicht sofort zu greifen sind, die unklar im Wort aber um so klarer in ihrer Bedeutung sind, die etwas am besten beschreiben. Wer kennt nicht die Situationen in einer Probe, wenn der Groove nicht wirklich wabert, rattert, pumpt, pocht oder fließt... Schwer zu sagen, was es gerade genau ist, was da nicht stimmt, aber es ist irgendetwas, DAS nicht stimmt. So denke ich noch Tage nach dem Interview über diese zwei Worte nach: Nices Straight... Und denke unwillkürlich an das Interview mit Flo König, wie er die Situation im Studio beschreibt, in der Cro einen Groove wollte, der klingt, wie Wachs, das langsam von einer Tischplatte tropft, an Alex Vesper und Micha Fromm bei der Songanalyse zu Unluck; dass man den Groove nicht versteht, wenn man ihn genau mit einer Aufnahme Software zerschneidet und versucht die Subdivisionen zu errechnen - an Steve Gadd, der den Click nur zum Einzählen nutzt, weil der Groove aus dem Moment entsteht. Nices Straight. Lisa, danke für diese beiden Wörter. Und das coole ist: Das ganze Interview war mindestens genauso spannend. Es geht um Musik, Lisas zweites Solo Album, Komponieren von Jazz Musik am Computer, die Wurzeln im Pop und weiches Schlagzeugspiel ohne Mallets. Ein Podcast zum Genießen. Viel Spaß dabei!

Haben wir bei Buddy Rich nicht schon behauptet, dass er für viele als der beste Drummer aller Zeiten gilt? Über Steve Gadd könnte man Ähnliches behaupten. Zumindest ist er einer der einflussreichsten Drummer, die es wohl jemals geben wird. Seine Spielweise beeinflusst Generationen von SchlagzeugerInnen und seine musikalische mit Energie und Spannung geladene Spielweise ist eine Kategorie für sich. Aber wie sieht es genau mit Steve Gadds Technik und Haltung am Set aus. Um das zu analysieren, um Steve Gadd zu dekodieren, gibt es keinen besseren als Flo Fochs. Als Autor von Fit for Drums und studierter Sport- und Bewegungswissenschaftler, sieht er jeden Aspekt eines Bewegungsablaufs und für mich ist es immer wieder faszinierend zu hören, was alles so im Spiel der KollegInnen steckt. So auch bei Steve Gadd. Wie kommt seine Power und dann diese enorme Einfühlsamkeit zustande. Wie sitzt er am Schlagzeug und warum hat Dr. Steve Gadd noch keinen erheblichen Rückenschaden, obwohl er oft sehr krumm am Schlagzeug sitzt? So viel sei schon jetzt verraten: Bei Steve Gadd geht es um Musik und weniger um medizinische Vorsorge ;) Euch viel Spaß mit dieser Episode des Trommel Talks.

Es fing alles mit einer WhatsApp von Alex Vesper an. "Schon gehört, Steve Gadd kommt nach Köln. Gehst du hin?" Klar gehe ich da hin! Aber wie wäre es, wenn man zusätzlich ein Interview mit Steve Gadd arrangieren könnte? Verrückte Idee. Ist das überhaupt möglich und wenn ja, wie? Was im Endeffekt Curt Cress damit zu tun hat, warum ein einfaches "Mausi" manchmal die Angst vor einem bedeutenden Anruf nehmen kann, welche Fragen wir uns überlegt haben, damit das Interview für jeden spannend bleibt und vor allem, was Alex und ich nach dem Interview denken, könnt ihr hier hören. In dieser Folge des Trommel Talks hört ihr quasi das Making of des Interviews mit vielen spannenden Zusatzinformationen zum Interview und einer Einordnung des Gesagten. Die beiden Stücke, die von Alex und Felix erwähnt werden, findet ihr hier: Alex Empfehlung: https://youtu.be/h_eiCcX263Y?feature=shared Felix Empfehlung: https://youtu.be/kw04siOE0wY?feature=shared Mit Alex Vesper durfte ich zusammen das Interview halten und Alex ist mittlerweile ein gern gesehener Gast im Trommel Talk.

Teil 2 des Steve Gadds Monats kommt noch immer mit leichter Verspätung wegen einer Grippe. Aber später ist nicht schlechter und alle Analysen, die ich zusammen mit Micha Fromm machen darf, lohnen allein schon wegen Micha! In dieser Folge geht es natürlich um Steve Gadd. Und weil Steve Gadd nicht irgendein Drummer ist, sondern so viele Meilensteine der Musikgeschichte gesetzt hat, befasst sich dieser Podcast auch eher mit der musikalischen Person Steve Gadd. Dabei hoffen wir, unterhaltsam einen Überblick über sein bewegtes Leben geben zu können und dabei keine wichtige Station zu vergessen und die eine oder andere Geschichte mit an Bord zu haben, die du vielleicht noch nicht kennst. Ich bin auf jeden Fall immer noch ganz beseelt von diesem wundervollen Moment des Interviews und hoffe, dass ich  zusammen mit Mich es schaffe, euch etwas von der Begeisterung mitgeben zu können.

Diese Chance durfte ich mir einfach nicht entgehen lassen. Voller Aufregung rief ich Alex Vesper an und erzählte ihm, was gerade passiert war: Steve Gadd hat zugesagt zu einem exklusiven Interview! Der absolute Wahnsinn. Mir war sofort klar, dass ich gern Alex dabei hätte. Nicht nur ist Alex ein unfassbarer Steve Gadd Kenner, er gibt mir darüber hinaus Sicherheit bei so einem Interview, soviel stand fest! Der Termin war gemacht und das Interview stand. Aber was fragt man so jemanden wie Steve Gadd? Ich traf mich mit Alex und wir besprachen unsere Fragen. Wie würde er wohl antworten, wie ist er wohl so drauf... Wir hatten so viele Sorgen und Bedenken. Aber was soll ich sagen, schon bevor das Interview losging, waren alle diese Zweifel wie weggewischt. Steve Gadd ist nicht nur ein überragender Drummer, der das Schlagzeugspiel wie kaum ein anderer geprägt hat, er ist auch ein total sympathischer Kerl. Und so war es überhaupt kein Problem, mit ihm ins Gespräch zu kommen. So ging das Gespräch sowohl über das Konzert vom Vorabend, über europäische Musiker, über den Sound auf der Bühne und warum es manchmal nervt, den Sound diktiert zu bekommen, über seine Kinder und die Familie und über ganz, ganz viel Groove und Schlagzeug. Das Interview ist in Englisch.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, the podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This is another segment of Big Fat Five, where I invite my favorite drummers to break down the five records that shaped their approach to the instrument. Today, I'm joined by Ian Matthews, drummer for the "future rock" Kasabian—a group that, like many of the greats, enjoys massive success outside the U.S. while somehow remaining criminally underrated stateside. With eight studio albums and a reputation for explosive, anthemic live shows, Kasabian has been shaping the sound of modern rock for decades. And at the heart of it all? Ian Matthews—the powerhouse engine behind their dynamic and electrifying sound. We cover a lot in this conversation—stuff that will help any drummer level up their playing and presence on the kit. I also want to mention something special: If you've listened to The Drum Panel recently, you know I've talked about a certain project from November 2024 that I was really stoked about. Well, Ian was one of my main inspirations for those sessions. This one meant a lot. Enjoy the five records that shaped Ian Matthews into the drummer he is today. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Teun vindt verliezen erger dan hij winnen leuk vindt maar zit verder compleet ontspannen in de wedstrijd. Gijs is niet trouw aan wie hij denkt dat hij is en daar kwam hij lelijk mee op de koffie. In de grachtengordel heeft Magere Hein zich schielijk in z'n hoek teruggetrokken; Hanneke is wederopgestaan. We sluiten af met een drummende Steve Gadd als Beatles-tip.

Es ist Februar!!! Nicht mehr lange und dann ist die Sonne nicht nur hell, sondern auch wieder warm. Ohhh yes!!! Das wird toll. Warm und muggelig kann man es sich aber auch mit einer Tasse Tee machen und dieser News Folge in Extra-Länge lauschen. Denn es gibt da so einiges: Die NAMM Show kippt wie jedes Jahr eine Ladung Neues auf den Markt, es gibt den einen oder anderen Workshop und Sonor wird 150 Jahre.Grund genug, einmal bei Sonor nachzufragen, was es da eigentlich so neues gibt - oder bleibt da alles beim 150 Jahre Altem? Freuen könnt ihr euch so oder so auf ein interessantes Interview!   Außerdem ist der Februar der STEVE GADD MONAT.  Zusammen mit Alex Vesper hatte ich Ende letzten Jahres die Gelegenheit, Steve Gadd zu interviewen und hier verrate euch schon einmal, was ihr alles erwarten könnt.  In diesem Sinne unter die Decke geschlüpft und ab zur Podcast Folge Nr. 147! Die Infos zu Meinl findet ihr hier: https://youtu.be/2jKEA6lg7Kw?feature=shared Ich freu mich tierisch, wenn du auf der Seite von Einfach Schlagzeug mal vorbeischaust unter https://einfachschlagzeug.de/ Timecodes der Sendung: 0:00:20 - Start 0:01:06 - Darüber wird geredet 0:09:56 - Thema des Monats 0:26:39 - Da wird hingegangen 0:29:20 - Auf die Ohren

Zangeressen (Silje Nergaard, Madeleine Peyroux, Emilie-Claire Barlow), een drummer (Steve Gadd) en pianisten (Dave Brubeck, Joe Zawinul, Addy Scheele) in de aanloop naar één van de beroemdste/beruchtste opnames in de jazzgeschiedenis: Het Köln-Concert van Keith Jarret. Deze week precies vijftig jaar geleden opgenomen....

Former guitarist for Canadian Music Hall of Fame recording artist “The Guess Who” (2021-2024) - Michael's pedigree also includes many years as lead guitarist and musical director with original Foreigner vocalist and solo artist Lou Gramm, guitarist with multi-platinum artist Mark Slaughter, as well as both RockStar counselor and Music Director of the prestigious Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp organization. In addition to playing venues around the world with these icons, he has performed with many industry greats, most notably Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Whitesnake), Paul Stanley (KISS), Gene Cornish (The Rascals), Buddy Guy, Carmine and Vinny Appice (Vanilla Fudge, Black Sabbath), Nancy Wilson (Heart), Rich Redmond (Jason Aldean) and original Foreigner drummer Dennis Elliott. He also shared the stage with legendary Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers and former Heart guitarist Howard Leese at the “Pandora Unforgettable Moments on Ice” show, which was broadcast worldwide on ABC-TV and On Demand.

Wer kann das schon von sich behaupten: Einen exklusiven Deal mit Thomann in der Tasche zu haben und über 1 Millionen Follower bei TikTok. Das ist ganz Köln!!! Nachdem mein Mund wieder zu war, ob des Staunens über so große Zahlen bei einem Drummer, der quasi gerade erst mit seiner Schlagzeugkarriere angefangen hat, purzelten dann doch einige Fragen aus meinem Mund... Und dabei fing Marvin fast an zu verstummen. Denn, wie er mir im Vorfeld erzählte, ist er total firm darin Videos für ein Millionenpublikum zu erstellen, hat aber noch nie Fragen in einem Podcast beantworten müssen. Aber das ging, so finde ich, ganz gut. Und so haben wir locker und heiter darüber gesprochen, was der Unterschied zwischen den Social Media Plattformen ist, überlegt, ob ein Studium immer das richtige wäre und einen Deep Talk über das Schützen der Privatsphäre abgehalten.So ist aus diesem Talk ein sehr interessantes Interview geworden über einen jungen Schlagzeughhelden, der gern Bertram Engel die Hand schütteln würde, dem wiederum Millionen von jungen Drummer*Innen die Hand schütteln würden, der aber trotz all des Hypes im Endeffekt lieber auf dem Boden bleibt, was durchaus eine Bemerkung wert ist. Prädikat: Eines der sympathischsten Gespräche, die ich hier so führen durfte. PS: Über mehr als eine Millionen TikTok Follower darf sich der Special Guest im Februar zwar nicht freuen, dafür ist er wohl eine der Ikonen der Schlagzeugwelt. Ich hatte die einmalige Gelegenheit, Steve Gadd exklusiv zu interviewen. Das gesamte Interview hört ihr nur hier im Trommel-Talk von Einfach Schlagzeug ab Februar!

Hatte ich nicht gesagt, es kommt anders, als man es sowieso nicht gedacht hätte? Und dann kommt es doch wieder so, wie gedacht und dann geht wieder was schief und die Planung liegt im Grunde nur darin geplant zu sein und einem das Gefühl zu geben, man hätte einen Plan, man ist im Endeffekt aber genauso planlos wie eh und je. Naja langes Geschreibe, kurzer Sinn: Ihr hört heute weder Enya, noch Michael, sondern Julian, der eigentlich erst für Januar geplant war, aber dann doch jetzt schon einspringt, wie wundervoll! Und Jewlz Drums oder wie ihn seine Eltern wohl auch noch kennen: Julian Wieder ist ein wirklich besonderes Juwel unter den jungen Drummerlingen. Technisch ein unfassbares Niveau, weswegen er auch mit seinen Instagram Videos für Furore sorgte (@Jewlz_Drums), ist er mittlerweile festes Mitglied unter anderem bei ENNIO. Und das Interessante im Gespräch mit jungen Kolleg*innen ist immer, dass ich nicht so recht weiß, wie sich das ganze Interview entwickelt. Ich dachte, mit Jules viel über Chops, Technik, Licks und Tricks fachsimpeln (oder viel mehr fach-komplizieren) zu können. Und ja, das haben wir auch, aber dann kam das Gespräch auf das Feld der Musikalität und inwiefern Licks und Chops überhaupt musikalisch sind. Und hier nahm das Gespräch eine tolle und interessante Wendung. Der Zweifel, ob all diese Technik überhaupt ein Vehikel ist, um musikalisch spielen zu können und was das Live Spielen von Musik so besonders macht im Gegensatz zum Lick-Geballer vor einer Kamera; genau darüber kommt Jules ins Grübeln. Und seine Gedanken sind wirklich wirklich hörenswert. So lohnt es sich, den letzten Glühwein von Weihnachten aufzuwärmen und diesem (wie würde man mit Mitte 20 sagen?) "deepen Talk" zu lauschen. Euch viel Spaß! Ach und noch zwei Sachen sind sicher: 1. Weihnachten ist überstanden - alle so Yeah und Neujahr steht bevor. Daher EUCH ALLEN EINEN GUTEN RUTSCH UND NUR DAS BESTE FÜR DAS KOMMENDE JAHR 2025!!!!! 2. Das Interview mit Steve Gadd musste nicht abgesagt werden und fand statt.

This post is public so feel free to share it.In this podcast, we hear about the career of legendary drummer Matt Vander Ende, who shares his fascinating journey from the West Coast music scene to the bright lights of Broadway. Known for his dynamic playing style, Matt takes us through his transition from rock and metal drumming into musical theater, where he ultimately landed one of Broadway's most demanding drumming roles in Wicked.Throughout the interview, Matt reveals:* His musical upbringing was in Oakland, California, and he had early classical training at the San Francisco Conservatory. he has a diverse performance background spanning from school jazz bands to heavy metal tours with his band, Defiance.* How he developed his versatile style, drawing influence from drumming legends like Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Metallica's Lars Ulrich, blending classical chops with rock intensity.* His unexpected path into musical theater, starting with a recommendation to try drumming in local theater productions—a choice that paved the way to his long-running career on Broadway.Matt's detailed look at his role as the drummer for Wicked is a highlight of the conversation. He describes the intense demands of this iconic show, which requires the drummer to seamlessly switch between musical genres, from reggae and punk-inspired beats to classical and traditional Broadway rhythms—all while leading a large 23-piece orchestra.Matt shares:* What makes Wicked such a challenging and unique show to play, including the precise, genre-hopping drumming style it requires to drive the music and choreography.* His experience mastering complex segments like the intense “No Good Deed,” which he describes as “Bartok meets Metallica”—an exhilarating, intricate piece that demands both technical precision and a heavy rock feel.* The importance of consistency in Wicked, with Matt highlighting his methods for keeping each performance fresh, despite the rigorous routine, and the ways he managed physical strain and injury during his tenure.Matt also gives valuable advice to aspiring Broadway drummers on the importance of discipline, professionalism, and learning a wide variety of musical styles. He emphasizes the necessity of playing each performance exactly as the regular drummer does, especially for subs, and offers insights on building relationships and working as part of a close-knit Broadway team.For Broadway fans, drummers, and musicians alike, this episode is packed with stories, lessons, and insights from Matt's extraordinary journey.

After his time with Disney, Cubby pursued his true passion for drumming, performing with bands around Los Angeles, including a two-year stint with Spike Jones, which opened doors to major acts. He went on to work with legendary artists such as Ann-Margret, Shirley MacLaine, and Diana Ross, and spent ten years touring with The Carpenters after meeting them on The Carol Burnett Show.Cubby's prolific career extends to Broadway and television, with notable performances in productions such as West Side Story, Hair, The Producers, and Gypsy.

On a new album aptly titled Big Foot, she teams up with famed pianist Larry Goldings and dances in her socks, sand, and even sneakers for a nuanced tone. Punctuating Goldings’ compositions with Sullivan’s tap dancing, “Do You Like” features the voice of Anna Goldings and makeshift percussion by legendary drummer Steve Gadd.

Frenette's love of music started at the age of 5 while playing the bongos and listening to records with his parents. Artists like Perez Perado, Tito Puente, Herb Albert, Johnny Cash and Tom Jones were constantly spinning on the record player. By the age of 10, Matt was learning his rudiments in a marching and concert band. Some of Matt's early influences include Mitch Mitchell, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Michael Shrieve, Danny Seraphine,Billy Cobham, and later influences include Manu Katche, Steve Gadd, and Richard Bailey. Frenette is a founding member of Streetheart and his legacy as the other half of one of rock's greatest rhythm sections is still a part of Canadian rock legend.

But within months, Aubin and Frenette swapped bands, where each continues to play to the present Alongside fellow Loverboy founding members Mike Reno, Paul Dean, Doug Johnson, with Ken "Spider" Sinnaeve, Matt Frenette has been "Working for the Weekend" since forming in Calgary, Alberta over 36 years ago. Loverboy has sold more than 10 million albums, earning four multi-platinum plaques, including the four-million-selling "Get Lucky." In 1982, as a member of Loverboy, Frenette went on to win a "still-record" six Juno awards. Matt's solid groove, versatile musicality and his visually exciting performance has created a demand for his appearance in many different artists' recordings, videos and tours, such as: Tom Cochrane, Bryan Adams, Kim Mitchell, Colin James and many other talented musicians.   Some Things That Came Up:  -1:30 Rich saw Matt with Loverboy at The El Paso Coliseum, 1985!  -3:00 Matt broke through the bass drum head!

Jim's First In-Depth Interview: https://youtu.be/x_rJ70wf2ws?si=5ObilAqOW2fxsRzt  On this Jim Oblon interview:  His unique picking style and how he developed it… “fake shredding,” his unique guitar invention, The Monochord… stories about playing with Jim Keltner and “Keltner's Matic,” stress levels of working as an artist vs working as a side man… voodoo rhythm, why “There's a price attached to trying to better yourself, and there's a price attached to NOT doing this, as well…” doing the right thing and why “Sometimes, you have to walk away.” Lovely and genuine, as always… Discover Where the Money's Hiding in Today's Music Business:  https://MusicReboot.com Support this show: https://www.everyonelovesguitar.com/support Jim Oblon was born into a musical family in Connecticut, and he started playing professionally at age 12. Jim's a very rare breed because he's a phenomenal guitarist, and he's equally adept at drums. He's played on 5 Paul Simon LPs and did multiple world tours with Paul Simon... playing guitar, bass and drums on Paul Simon's 2011 album "So Beautiful Or So What,” which was produced by Phil Ramone. Also worked for Phil Ramone as a studio musician (outside of Paul Simon). Other sideman gigs include most recently touring and performing on Lucinda Williams' latest LP, playing on Andrea Zonn's recording "Rise" along with Steve Gadd, Willie Weeks, Vince Gill... as well as records with artists Rodney Crowell, Swamp Dogg, Janis Ian and others. Jim has a new album out called I Want to Be Loved, it's an album of cool Jimmy Reed blues covers - this a duo record with Jim Keltner playing drums and Jim playing everything else. I'm excited to let you know Jim Oblon is also the guy who wrote, played and produced the opening and closing bumper music for the audio version of the Everyone Loves Guitar Talk Show & Podcast.

Alec Baldwin speaks with two genius musicians whose artistry has contributed to some of the most memorable songs of the sixties, seventies and eighties, leaving an indelible mark on the music world. Steve Gadd, one of the most influential drummers of all time, is known for bridging jazz, rock, and blues. He has been a studio musician for countless artists from Carly Simon to Aretha Franklin – and tours with musicians like Eric Clapton, James Taylor, Joe Cocker, as well as with his own outfit, The Steve Gadd Band. His artistry can be found on Paul Simon's “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover” and Steely Dan's “Aja.” Larry Carlton is a four-time Grammy winning jazz and rock guitarist who became famous for his work as a studio musician in the 1970s and 1980s. He has played in over 3,000 studio sessions with artists like Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Michael Jackson, Dolly Parton and many others. Rolling Stone named his contribution to Steely Dan's “Kid Charlemagne” one of the best guitar solos in rock music. Carlton is also renowned for his solo work and as a member of the jazz group The Crusaders and the smooth jazz band Fourplay.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
