Very much a celebratory occasion and one that finds legendary drummer Steve Gadd on home turf in a concert show in Rochester, New York State in 2015, this live recording of Gadd with his band (Walt Fowler on trumpet, Larry Goldings, keyboards, Jimmy Johnson, bass and Michael Landau, guitars) is full of groove and rhythm rocket science, Gadd in a league of his own at the kit, and has a comfortable life force to it that speaks good times and effortless sounding flow.

Bookended by Keith Jarrett’s ‘The Wind Up’ and Buddy Miles’ ‘Them Changes,’ the band and the audience are having fun and it’s captured well on the live DVD. A second DVD offers lots of appreciative words from family and friends but is less essential unless you simply want to bask in Gadd’s greatness.

If you enjoyed last year’s 70 Strong this is very much in the same vein, the same band and a few bits of overlapping material, notably Goldings’ ‘Sly Boots’ thrown in.

Gadd returns to Ronnie Scott’s from 3-8 October with much of the personnel on the record which itself is released just before the shows.
