Great clip! With a player as good as Gale, 90% of his tone comes from his touch rather than the guitar.

If he wasn't able to play guitar with such nuanced expressiveness, he probably could have been a great plumber.

Gadd ain't steppin on anybody ... he's dancing!

Steve Gadd and Buddy Rich were both tap dancers as kids ... nothing like pounding in the rhythm from the bottom up to make a great drummer.

well, well..i knew buddy was a tap dancer (like many of the great drummers from that era) including one my musical heroes....vibist cal tjader, but i had no idea mr. gadd also included that on his resume!

Here he is dancing to some mallets ...

oh my.... that just made my day! wow, i hadn't thought about Nexus in ages. thanks for posting that link. quite the extroverted moment there for mr. gadd.

ah....now, if only those guys had some rhythm!

and as one thing usually begats another...Nexus got me thinking of M'Boom, Max Roach's great percussion ensemble.

Nice one .. the magnificent Max & Co. !

To lend some reflective symmetry to this thread, hear is another great sax and guitar player clip.

And the percussionist was a member of M'Boom.
