Thanks Peter. Always nice to hear some old classics again. Rainstorm is perfect to rock some bossa-esque grooves huh?

Suspiria,

The thing about Rainstorm is that
the first half of the tune is almost
all ridden on the hi-hat, with his
left hand. Most people don't real-
ize that about Gadd's rhythm's;
how much from the left, they orig-
inate(d). He's a master and I just
love him - always looking to share
my enthusiasm for him!

Glad you appreciate him!!

That 'Rainstorm' tune made me laugh. The feel is so beautiful. It's dramatic.

Yeah, Peter, right on!!!

Thanks for sharing that stuff. It made me dance around my apartment. And trust me, that AINT somethin' you wanna see....! [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]redface.gif[/img]

He is just so damned funky! A complete joy to listen to, and he makes what he's doing sound so deceptively easy because he lays it in there so well.

Thanks again for bringing that stuff out Peter, and I sure hope to see you soon! Next Tuesday perhaps?

I have the Noel Pointer on LP! I haven't had a turntable hooked up in a decade though. Thanks, Peter.
