🎧 What happens when a drummer becomes a legend in real time? In this special episode, Rob Cass sits down with the iconic Steve Gadd — the man behind some of the most unforgettable grooves in music history. From the legendary drum solo on Steely Dan’s “Aja” to defining moments with Paul Simon, Chick Corea, and Eric Clapton, Steve opens up about the journey that shaped both his sound and his soul. 🥁🔥We dive into his early days — learning drums as a kid, playing six nights a week while still in school, and exploring the New York music scene in the '70s alongside Tony Levin. Steve reflects candidly on his struggles with addiction, the creative highs of working with Chick Corea, the deep musical brotherhood he shares with Clapton, and why timing, feel, and the “bus factor” are everything when it comes to being a great bandmate. 🚌🎶Whether he’s talking about Gaddiments, the lost golden era of music, or walking off stage mid-show in Japan — Gadd’s honesty, warmth, and musical genius shine through. If you love jazz, rock, fusion, or simply want a front-row seat to the making of music history, this episode is a must-watch. 💥 Legends aren’t born — they’re built beat by beat. Don’t miss this one.
