I tested it and it works.
Again, it's over 14M, so be patient.
You will be rewarded.

Oh Peter. Just what the dr. ordered.
This performance is is the reason I'm writing this at 3 a.m in the morning. This is why I love my life. Gadd changed my life and I hope this cut does the same to someone else. Give it up to Gadd!
Thanks soooooooo much! Without Gadd there would be no Vinnie or Weckl. I guarantee it! Remember Gadd was pretty much reading this after the afternoon rehearsal. Actually, there would be no Gadd if it were not for Tony, Elvin and James Gadson and Purdie too! It's a little hokey at times but the 6/8 playing by Gadd is FAT ! The phrasing is very modern.
What year is this? I hope you guys dig this.
By the way. I think that's Dizzy Gillespie laughing in the background when Gadd starts playing that left hand biz towards the end. Gillespie is in awe. He's heard it all but he's floored by this drummer.
I think you're right, Blake!
Steve has these signature triplets
and double-strokes that he does
between his kick and snare that
always floored everyone. They're
just incomparable.
What a drummer and what a life! I
am sure he is thanking his lucky
stars for still being alive today.
I'm glad for him.

That was simply the best story.
Thanx Peter......beats
